Stale perfumy smell just after starting

[Bill W]

I setup and then yeasted a batch of apple cider (4.5 gal) last Sat/Sun and now its smelling kind of funky. Starting SG was 1.100 and I used a Lavin yeast. The cider said "No Preservatives" and pasteurized. Is it possible that they are sorbating it anyway? Is there any hope of rescuing this or should I just start over?

Let it go you are just smelling what the yeast is doing..

Never and I did say never give up. Some wines go through a phase but most of the time its just a different smell that you are not used to. Did you use any nutrient or energizer?

Re: Smell

Yep, used a little energizer. Can that cause this kind of smell?

i had a sort of prefume smell to my apple wine at one point during the beginning and its turning out just fine
