Belgium Witbeer Smelly

Have a taste. If it's infected you'll know.

It's a yeast that's known for a strong sulphur dioxide 'aroma' or worse. Some get it during fermentation - I had it after kegging (possibly I had kegged it too early anyway). Either way - the smell eased as the beer matured - after two weeks in the keg it is nearly gone

Oh this stuff STINKS. Makes lovely beer though. I usually go for 3 + 3 primary + keg(or 1+2+3 prim + sec + keg if dry hopping). The beers I've done with this yeast have been low hops beers but I've yet to see the smell come through. FWIW I usually get a burnt hair smell with this yeast.
