WLP380 and odor during ferment

Postby dartedplus » Fri Jan 13, 2012 7:31 pm

I am making a starter with WLP380 and have noticed a very strong sulfer smell, is this common or is my starter contaminated???

Thanks in advance for any help,

A lot of yeast produce sulfur during fermentation. It is nothing to worry about.
