strong sulfur smell with Wyeast 1010 American Wheat

[MathiasMicrobrew]

This is my first time brewing a wheat beer and I used Wyeast 1010 and its a very vigorous strain! I had some krausen come out of my airlock this morning and out of 20 plus batches, that has never happened before.

Also, is there supposed to be a sulfur smell? I didn't know if it was typical of the strain and if it will carry over to the beer. :/

Grain bill:
5# 2-row
5# white wheat
.5# honey malt

.5 oz nugget @ 60
1tsp crushed coriander @ 5
1 oz crystal @ flameout

Fermenting @ 68*

Yep... 1010 and the WLP320 will put off a sulpher like smell during fermentation. Actually a lot of the "wheat" or "hefeweizen" strains will do that. But it won't be in your beer.

That's good to know! I had never smelt a fermentation like this before lol
