Rotten Egg Fart Smell...

[pmolou]

a bit off topic but i'm fermenting a saison atm and it smells like rotten egg is this normal as its obviously not a lager fermented at 22celcius so far but heard it needs to go up to around 28 to finish fermenting or is this smell just pure saison?

All lager yeast smell like rotten egg gas.

Ive only found it with W34/70. S189 certainly doesnt from my experiences with it?
Cheers

No prob. Tamworth eh? I was born and raised in and around there myself - Tamworth, Kooty, Dungowan. Ah yes, brings a tear to the eye.

:icon_offtopic: just 'cos I lives here doesn't means I comes from here. Ah to north of the border once more.......
you're right about the kooty / dungowan bringing a tear to the eye, especially what they do to their kin-folk out that way on those long cold nights......can ya hear the banjoes playing???? :blink:
