Hi All,
Newb here. So today is day 3 of primary fermentation, and the sulfur smell is definitely on the rise...beginning to stink up the whole house. I'm a bit confused, as everything I've read points to stressed yeast as the cause...but at this point I've added the full 5-gallon dose of Fermax (5 tsp), and aerated very welll with a drill attachment three times already (once per day.)
Exact recipe:
10 lbs honey
zest/juice of 10 lemons
4 lbs diced peaches
2 qts 100% apple juice
50 golden raisins
16 packets English Breakfast tea
Poland Spring water (to 5 gallons)
Lalvin D-47 yeast
Fermax nutrient
Could it be due to high acidity, caused by the lemons and apple juice? What can I do to remedy?
Thanks,
-Ryan
