Can't help with the egg smell, all i got was the sour smell
I've had the same UJSSM running generation after generation for ten years and don't even own a PH meter.
If its fermenting to slow don't use so much backset next time........if it's going faster than you want add more backset to the next generation.
Why make something so simple so hard.
I'm only adding 1gallon instead of 1-¼ already. Not trying to make it difficult, just trying to get it ferment in less than 2 weeks like UJ.
