The dog has farted!

[Purital]

Yes that's right, our poor Springer Rufus has taken the blame for my eggy smelling brew. Help!

Coopers Sparkling Ale - using the kit yeast.

Covering half of the top is an orangy 'skin' that looks a lot like the yeast cake you would get at the bottom of the FV and it STINKS :sick: :sick: of eggs/Sulphur. I am on hour 64 (day 2.5) of the fermenting process.

Can this be normal?

Thanks :

Note: I am moderately experienced and know that Yeast can cause this smell, but I have never noticed it before at all. Besides, the skin is a little worrying as I've also never noticed that. AS this ale is bordering a lager, could it be the norm??

That doesn't sound good!

If my brew smelt like one of our dogs farts I would get rid of it ASAP!! :shock:

It's quote normal for some yeasts to smell really bad when fermenting, especially lager yeast. I wouldn't worry about it. It will sort itself out in time.

Don't bottle until it goes otherwise it will take a while before it's gone from the beer
