Evening all.
Has anyone done the Muntons Kolsch style kit yet? I opened the fermentor tonight to stick the bag of dry hops in and I'm worried that it has got an infection. The fermentation started slowly and then had a lot of activity. Some sulphury smells for the first few days which I've read isn't uncommon for some yeasts. The krausen was huge, filling the headspace and needing a blow off tube.
The batch was started on the 16th May and seems to have stopped fermenting so I would expect to be able to see the top surface of the beer with a bit of yeast/foam by now. It doesn't smell off/unpleasant. Is it worth racking to a clean fermentor, go for broke in a corny or straight down the drain?
Cheers.
Oh, and it's probably obvious, but ignore the green bit - that's the dust from the hops!
