Skunky Smell

[mjdtexan]

I have one 3 gallon batch of apple wine 10% abv(from concentrate)
one gallon batch of the same


one batch of cranberry 18% abv from concentrate.


They both smell skunky. I used lalvin EC-118


Any ideas, can this be corrected?

Skunky or more sulfur like or rotten egg?

Wow that will wake you up!

Might be easier to figure out if you gave us your recipe. Could be as simple as a need to splash rack aggressively a few times.

How far along are these in the fermenting/aging process? When wasK-Meta added? I have had a skunky smell and taste before in a kit wine but it was due to bulk aging for 4 1/2 months without adding additional K-Meta. According to George I had a non-correctable bacteria problem but hopefully that isn't your problem here.
