I have made 3 batches of Red this fall and two have the sulfur smell. The batch with RC 212 seems to be the worst and I remember that a kit I made with 212 last year had it as well and it disappeared after racking. This time, some Zin I made from Lodi Grapes has it with 212 as well as a batch of Petite Syrah from Lodi grapes that I did with Red Pastuer whatever that is. The Lodi juice I did with 71-B has no smell. I used yeast Nutrient on the 212's since I know they need to be fed, but can't figure it out. Thinking of waiting until next racking to see if it dissipates like last years batch did. Any thoughts? The whole house smells like a giant dog fart once I dumped the lees, I hope this gets better.
