I got a batch of cider going on August 10th. It was throwing a lot of sulphur throughout primary and I didn't act fast enough to try 'splash racking' and didn't know about adding nutrients during fermentation.
I just racked it to secondary about 3 days ago and the smell was faint but still noticeable. I bottled 10, 12oz bottles to not waste it and just popped the top on one to 'check carb level' (I was impatient) and it has a pretty strong sulphur smell and taste.
After reading multiple threads about sulphur in ciders I'm beginning to think I have H2S. If I do, in fact have H2S, is there any saving it or should I just dump the carboy out and try again?
Thanks for any and all help. Cheers!
