I'm pretty sure that something went wrong I did 2 batches and they both stink pretty bad, the yeast cake in the bottom isn't as solid as batches I've done in the past its kinda syurpie. Any ideas? should I still keg it? one is a Damnation clone thats going to age for 6 months. Also my first time useing corn sugar is that whats causing the smell?
Racked to secondary and my beer stinks

Have you tasted it?
No I was warned that the Damnation would taste like malt liquor unless it aged for awhile. I guess I could pull some out of the Heff
sounds like a normal young saison to me

WLP565 smelling like a wet sasquatch on a hot day and leaving a slime cake is normal.

I find that a lot of your belgian style yeasts will have a strong odor after the primary. As long as it doesn't taste and smell like sulfur, I proceed. I had several skunked batches when I first started homebrewing and trust me, if it's bad, you'll know. If you're thinking "I can't tell, it's just a little weird" it is probably normal for whatever yeast you are using.
