Hi
I open the cupboard where my coopers is fermenting and there was a eggy smell coming from the FV,i made the kit up on thursday so it has been going for nearly 3 days now.
So is this infection :( ,or is it just the smell of the yeast fermenting? :D
Thanks

Don't worry, as long as it is not the dreaded vinegar smell your brew is ok. A fermenting brew can sometimes throw up some strange smells, eggy being one of them. This is normal.
