Sulfur smell

[hector]

Hi there !

I'm brewing a small batch of Wheat Beer for the first time , using bread yeast .

It's on the second day of fermentation and was fermenting vigorously on the first day . It's still fermenting but not so vigorous as yesterday .

Fermentation Temp. = 64 F

Today , I noticed Sulfur smell from the Airlock and I'd like to know if it's normal ?!

Hi Hector.

The Sulfur smell is totally normal and should dissipate in a week or so. Many strains of yeast are notorious for producing a sulfurous smell during fermentation.
