I started another round this weekend, and I'm still detecting a faint sulfur smell even though I added DAP and nutrients from the beginning. I followed the amounts on the packages (roughly), and I'm wondering if
A) I didn't add enough
B) A little sulfur is normal
C) I used the British spelling sulphur when searching last time and missed out on 80% of the information...
Here's the recipe:
11.5 lb cracked corn, ground to course meal
0.5 lb toasted oats, ground with the corn
5.25 gal water, added to corn at a rolling boil
high temp liquid enzyme at the beginning
insulated and stirred occasionally for 2 hours before allowing to cool to mashing temp
alpha and glucoamylase added at the usual temps
held at 145 F for about an hour
cooled naturally overnight
OG 1.066 with full conversion.
3.5 grams DAP
3 teaspoons Fermax yeast nutrient
Aerated with a drill for as long as it takes me to get bored. Say, 90-120 seconds.
Red Star baker's yeast sprinkled over the top.
Temps are holding around 74 F on PID controllers.
