After four days under yeast my 5 gallon wash of; Peach Juice, Corn Syrup, White sugar, winemakers yeast and Purified water, is bubbling away in my fermenter and making a bit of a sulfur-like odor thru the airlock. I pressed on the side of the plastic fermenter to get a stream of bubbles to see if I was really smelling what I was smelling and, indeed I was.
Cause for concern?
I chose a concentrated peach juice that had no sulfide preservatives. The only chemical present on the ingredients was Ascorbic acid (VitaminC) which shouldn't have, and hasn't had an effect on the rate of fermentation. I'm new to this, is this odor apart of the early fermentation process?
Help is appreciated
