Anybody using Beer yeast has to use a nutrient our resident Chemist will elaborate, I think it's to do with complex sugars.
Fart smells from H2s are enhanced by poor yeast nutrition and lower temps
Feed it and make it cosy!

The smell profile of this is changing, getting closer to farts now.

No smell off any now since I put out the dog.

I think that starts to happen when the yeast runs low on something, possibly nitrogen.
I'm happy enough at this stage that it's slowing, I don't want ammonia from the brew, it's pitched at 5tsp so I'll leave it as is.

One of mine is bubbling like crazy and smells of rotten eggs, I used Sn 9 in this.The other one is not showing any activity after a couple of days, I used ec 1118 in this. Thinking of re pitching a different yeast like maybe youngs dsuper wine yeast just to get it going ?
I pitched some Notty slurry into the 15l in the original container - think I got it completely wrong - currently sitting in freezing garage. I checked last night and its not definitely not fermenting. Will aerate, repitch with fresh Notty and yeast nutrient and bring inside tomorrow. Bit of a bollix but I've been out of town / crazy busy since it arrive so here's hoping.
The two I didn't pitch any yeast into are bubbling away (I used some campdens and nutrient - belatedly - for both) - one stinky, one ok ;).
Did I hear there's no cure for stinky cider?
By the way, anyone ever repitched natural yeast from a cider into a beer?

Sorry i just checked back and this is wrong. I used EC-1118 in the 25 litre batch that is fizzing away and farting rotten eggs, i used the Vintners Harvest SN-9 in the 20 litre batch that does not seem to be doing anything, no airlock activity and looks dead when i popped the lid.
Should i pitch another packet of the SN-9 into this one ?

I would be thinking if you're going to re pitch, that maybe you should dose it with camden first. Not sure though.
Not sure why i would need to do that but mystery has been solved, Checked the gravity and its down to 1020 from 1046 and some slow fizzing going on, must have had a leak somewhere i reckon.
Gravities on both mine are around 1.005 or so. Taste is still tart, showing promise as it's not knock you down sour like a Lidl cider would be at this stage.

How does it smell?
Like fermenting stuff, a bit farty but more after dinner than after a feed of pints type farts. ;-)

You never know. Supposedly Marstons ale yeast originally came from an apple skin.
