I have had certain types of yeast that will put out a bad sulfur smell for a while then goes away. Other then that does your water smell that way, A lot of people in my area have well water that smells like that. I fortunately do not.

As was said some yeast do produce sulfur, and it goes away later. I think you are probably ok just roll with it and see what happens. My Vienna Lager smelled like you described during fermentation, but its delicious now.

Yes it did but it had had a Bluetooth filtration system put on it along with 5 spin on cartridge filters.


The last 3 or 4 batches of beer and this cider I used store bought gallon bottles of spring water.

Thanks all
