Stinky Cider

[Jonathan2342]

I’m trying to make a cider, I started it on Feb 7th, pretty simple, organic apple juice (3 gal) 1kg brown sugar, 3cinnamon sticks and k1-yeast. The problem is I keep getting a sulphide smell on it. I added nutrient which helped for a while but the stench returned. Any tips on what I can do to fix this?

Assuming it's just the yeast making that smell, time will dissipate it.

May also be the combination of the cider fermenting with the cinnamon sticks making a weird smell combo.

A couple of my ciders were sulphur bombs while they fermented but had no detectable trace by the time they finished.

I pulled some copper wire from an old vacuum that my 10 year old son was destroying and put it in overnight. Next morning all smell was gone and it smells drinkable. Going to bottle tomorrow

Yeah, I’d agree with this. They weren’t great to pick up a passing scent of, but no trace when it came time to drink. I’d advise just letting it be next time and letting it do its thing.

That smell should go away after the fermentation is complete unless the yeast is unhealthy or if it was underpitched.

Apple wine needs apple juice and apple cider together, the cider takes the nasty flavor away but without apple juice the wine ferment would get stuck. so add a quart of cider to your batch maybe yeast=generic
i just botched a one gallon cider wine leaving out a little apple juice or was it the red wine yeast?
