beer off flavorsUh oh !! Not exactly beer you got there? Diagnose your off flavors and remedy that BAD taste!
------------------------------------

Sulfur
Description: Flavor or aroma that resembles rotten eggs or sulfur.

Cause: Yeast autolysis (yeast cannibalism), bacterial infection.

Remedy: Do not let you homebrew sit on the primary yeast cake for a long period of time. Rack out of the primary when fermentation subsides, but be sure not to separate the wort off the primary yeast cake too soon also. Good sanitation also will reduce your chances of this off-flavor!
