As above really. Got a nice brew with that god awful sulphur smell. Just waiting on it disappearing so that I can get tucked in lol.

It's only been a month in the bottle, so still young, but just wondering how long I should wait before trying another? It's a coopers kit if that makes any odds.
 
Have you tasted a bottle yet its common to get some eggy smell during fermentation but im suprised its still there after the fermentation has finished hope its not infected

Yeah tried one last night and it's lovely other than the slightly eggy whiff :D
 
At 6 months mine lost it, tbh it turned out pretty poor in my view. My second batch with dry hopped saaz did turn out a lot better.

Yeah I took heed of peoples recommendations and went with a pre-hopped addition. It's made a small impact but next time i will be dry hopping too :)
 
In my experience, if the sulphur smell is there when you bottle it, you're bottling the sulphur smell and will always be there. I have found that opening the bottle and letting it stand for 10-20 minutes before drinking it reduces the smell.
