Wash smells like garbage water?!

Putting older posts here. Going to try to keep the novice forum pruned about 90 days work. The 'good' old stuff is going to be put into appropriate forums.

Wash smells like garbage water?!

Post by OOOOOWWWWWEEEEE »

I did 2 five gallons washes. I only added carbon to one, and it smells like it's been sitting in a dumpster for a month. The other smells like sweet molasses. This was for plain sugar washes (corn sugar/molasses/distillers yeast). Is this normal? Did I just ferment a batch of garbage water and get a contamination? I'll let you know what my refractometer says on the ABV when I get home.
