I am brewing a Bohemain Lager. I just opened up the lid of the primary after one week and there was a horrible smell that smelled like rotten eggs. I think maybe it was from several things but i would like input. Is it because i didnt start the yeast a day or two before adding it (I only started it 5 hours before). Or maybe it is because i didnt do the best A+ job cleaning the fermenter from the last batch which was a IPA. Or will the smell go away once it finishes fermenting. Any help to fix the problem would be great!!

My wife often complains about this myserious 'rotten egg smell' in my opinion, it's best to deny it roll over and go back to sleep.

The correct ammount of time to lager a lager is to the point where the stink disappears, according to the Germans.

I have been getting alot of sulphur from my parti-gyle bitters recently. It doesnt seem to happen in my other beers however. Strange. I guess it must be something to do with the wort chemistry of diluting wort post mash, anyone have any ideas?
