First batch of dragons blood, followed recipe except used double the fruit and k1-v1116 instead of ec-1118. Spring water, plus added a pack of frozen strawberries.
Day1: sg 1.080 temp: 73f
Day2: sg 1.068 temp: 74f
Day3: sg 1.045 temp: 75f
Day4: sg 1.018 temp: 75f
I wrote in earlier about a smell as i only do kit wines, the first day the smell was huge, and the fermentation was rampant, like no kit wine ive ever seen except a few high end red with skins, big bubbles, on the verge of looking like it was boiling. Since then fermentation has looked as expected, and definitly sg being lowered everyday but i think the smell i have been smelling is h2s, sulfur smell. I see lots of threads saying to try copper wire ect. The smell has definitly calmed down since i originally posted and now is finally starting to smell like a fermenting wine. The question i have because i have never had any h2s experience is
1. Why am i getting h2s smell?
2: is it harmful being off gased into my house?
3: is it gonna destroy my first batch of dragons blood?
4: is it too late to take action since the smell is almost gone?
