I'm getting a bit of a sour smell from my wort as it's fermenting. Is this normal or is it going off? If so can I save it?
Cheers

More details needed. Yeast. Wort ingredients. "Sour" - like vomit :icon_vomit: Not sulphur like ?
Just ferment it out. Some ale yeast throw some wild smells. Just let it go and bottle or keg it and see what its like. All the hard work has been done.
48 Hour lag time is a bit sus, this stuff would normally go nuts.

Yeah I kind of stuffed the yeast...I tried re-hydrating it but I didn't let it cool down enough. It was around 55-57dc whenI put the yeast in the water to make a slurry...Iknow, I know , blood idiot....but hey it's my first time. As soon as I realised my mistake (5mins later) I dumped the yeast in the wort to cool it down and hopefully save it.
After asking around a bit I was advised to see how it goes but even though I may have killed a lot of the yeast I may not of killed all. Soit started to bubble yesterday arvo....I think it's still touch and go.....still not to sure whether to put some more yeast in.
