Re: HELP! My Wort smells like eggy farts
Both the "bit of crap on top" and the "slight eggy smelly" are likely to be normal functions of the yeast fermenting your beer, however since you have provided no other information - especially in regard to what yeast you are using or what beer your are brewing, its not really possible to say much more.

Brewing a coopers irish stout using the yeast that came with it
Is that any help?
Re: HELP! My Wort smells like eggy farts
This is o.k. I've done a Coopers stout, and the Coopers Bitter over the last 2 weeks. Both had the egg smell, both turned out lovely. I wonder if Coopers have changed the yeast, as they never normally smell like that, only the euro lager, which has the lager yeast.
