opened my bucket after 9 days tested gravity had sour smell and very little taste put in secondary to see if it gets better any words of advice?
Don't worry about the taste or the smell after 9 days. Fermentation is a pretty nasty enterprise. CO2 and carbonic acid that are produced during the fermentation process could easily be described as smelling sour, and you just can't judge the taste of a final beer based on a 9-day wort sample.
Finish the beer up. Don't judge any beer until it's cold, carbed, and conditioned. It just isn't done until it's done.
