it was youngs cider that i did and it smelled terrible after 2 weeks but after bottling and leaving for a month it turned out brilliantly, best advice, dont let the smell put you off just give it time and itll probably be ok

Hi YB
Duncn is right, I had the same worry with my kit cider, it smelt of rotton eggs/suplhur while it was in the FV - and then after barrelling it was the best I had made..
Don't worry all will be fine...

Yes, they can pong a bit while fermenting. :?

Don't worry though, it all works out in the end. 8)
