storage question

i have my batch fermenting in the closet will the smell of the closet affect the taste of the beer at all while it in there?

What exactly does the closet smell like?

As long you have an airlock or blow off tube on your fermenter should not be a problem.

Your opening should be bunged and air locked. Fermentation will produce gases that leave the brew so nothing should get in. You fermenting in an open bucket?

And why does your closet smell?

And why am I cracking up while writing this?

Yes, the stench of your stinky shoes will get in there and ruin your beer......

Was thinking more of hockey stink. That never goes away.

That's strong enough to penetrate a glass carboy and ruin the beer!

Whatever it does to beer sure makes it taste good after a game. Experiment, add a glove to secondary.

Lol nothing smelly it just that closet smell that's always closed. Can't really describe the smell. It's in a glass carboy. The closet kind of smells like the closet and beer now. Just want to make sure it won't interfere with it.

This.


The real question should be, why do you have a closet in your house that you think smells kind of weird.
