Really good and informative video but there is one thing that needs to be added and that is there are some yeasts that are very high producers of H2S even when they are not stressed and some yeasts that are known to be very low producers . In the latter category is 71B and in the former is Montrachet. That doesn't mean that you always choose the low producer over the high producer but it does mean that even although you have done everything you needed to do to make the yeast comfortable and stress free including aeration, lots of organic nitrogen, and you've provided nutrients and minerals up the wazoo, there are some yeasts that will belch out hydrogen sulfide like there is no tomorrow.

Based off of this video I got a copper plumbing pipe section (1/2 pipe thickness) sanded the surface and cleaned it in and outside. Then used the sanded and cleaned section to stir the mead up for about 30 seconds each and let the liquid swirl around. at 30 seconds per 1 gallon (had 2 of them) the smell was 100% gone. Thanks again for this advice. I think the surface area is why you had to leave yours in for so long.

@n017kingg7 2 года назад

excellent tip

@dhudach 10 месяцев назад

I just discovered this video and I like the method of using the copper plumbing pipe to swirl the liquid. If this is done does it eliminate the need for the fining agents? In other words, the copper wire sitting in the jar for a long time will cause the copper particles to get into the solution. But swirling for a short time seems like it wouldn't be enough time to cause the copper particles. Can anyone comment on this? Thank you.

I am making the Jack Keller Rasberry Wine recipe, long story short, my temp controller failed causing temps to drop to 58*F. After fixing temp issues, the fermentation started smelling of sulfur. I used 1/2" copper elbow tied to cheesecloth (sanitized) and suspended into wine must for approximately 3 hours. The H2s is gone and primary fermentation proceeding well. Great tip on the copper!

Thank you so much for this video! You save over 5 gallons of wine that I thought I was going to have to pitch. These were special grapes that I picked myself for the first time and was heartbroken at first. I used this technique plus aerated it big time then let it sit for a couple of months. BAM, no smell, and the wine is saved!

I'm glad I found this video! I'm brewing a hard seltzer with Lutra Kveik (my second attempt), and I've had a problem with a slight sulphur-ey smell leftover. Is this a common problem with seltzers as well? Would you recommend the same copper trick to eliminate this? Thanks!

@DGPHolyHandgrenade 2 года назад

Another good option is using a 1/4" copper union joint. You can get these at most big box home improvement stores or hardware stores. There's a slight dimple in the middle and it's used go to over 2 pieces of copper piping to solder/sweat together. They're usually under $0.25 but prices will vary. Take it home, clean it as stated in the video for the copper wire, then you can simply insert that into the end of your racking hose. It forces the must through pretty must like swirling and letting it contact the wire. I've had to do this on several cider fermentations, usually only one pass is needed, but obviously just as the video, do so again, if there's still a smell to your wine/mead/cider. Just an alternate method of achieving the same thing as the video.

@nicklancaster3190 3 года назад

I have spools and spools of solid copper wire from RS as well, so I'll remember this trick for the future. An older friend, who made wine back in the day, told me about using copper to get rid of hydrogen sulfide. I have used either a short copper tube piece at the end the vinyl tube, or a funnel with copper tubing pieces in it and splash rack either way. I gently swirl the must after racking and then airlock it after setting it where it'll stay. Haven't had any issues using either method.

@DointheMost 3 года назад

It's one of those things that you hope you never need to know, but you are certainly glad to know WHEN you need to know it! Man, Radio Shack memories are strong. As an employee, I walked away with so much free gear that had to be removed from inventory due to customer returns. That was 14 years ago and much of it is still in tool bags and on the peg board.

I just got done fermenting a cider and it smelt especially eggy after the 3rd day, although the smell has got considerably better as the brew has finished up. This is my first cider in years and I remember the same thing happening the last time I made one. If I remember correctly the yeast eventually cleared up the problem themselves and it tasted lovely. I'm thinking I will let the cider sit a bit first before I do any racking or use copper. But it's good to know there are options out there.

Thank you so much for solving this frustrating problem! I make Ginger soda and the same thing happens occasionally. I start with a Ginger bug that gathers “wild yeast”. So many steps and a lot of work! As soon as you said copper a light bulb went off, (I remembered I had a Copper supplement I bought on Amazon to try for Hypothyroid but didn’t do me any good there.) I poured out my Ginger soda from the Grolsch bottle into a 2 cups measuring cup opened up one 2 MG veg cap poured that in it and stirred, Right Away it eliminated the Sulpher Egg Smell !!! Yes thank you again so much!!! I’m going to try half a capsule tomorrow and see if that works.

@marcelloghigo8657 3 года назад

Hi, I'm a newbie meadmake and I have a similar problem: I added K meta in the minimum suggested dosage before pitching yeast because I used raw honey and I didn't trust its hygene. Now the airlock lets out gasses smelling like burnt matches. It's been in primary for less than a week. Should I wait and use this method once I've racked to secondary or can I do the splashing right now? On reddit they told me this smell will fade with time, so I don't need to do anything but waiting. What are your opinions? Cheers

@motog4-75 Год назад

If I only have access to braided copper wire, would it be ok to go ahead with your method. I currently have a fermentation going with this situation. This has not happened to me before in approx 20 years of homebrew. I have splash racked it once so far off all the lees & muck from one demijohn in to a fresh & added to it some fresh must to top up with a little bit of fresh yeast & a little bit of nutrient. Do you reckon I should splash rack a few more times even though it's still mid ferment 🤷‍♂️?

@Funpants94 2 года назад

How far into your fermentation is it not okay to splash rack? I'm making my first batches and they have a bit of a smell but it's certainly not escaping through the air lock so maybe that's just the smell mead has during primary and I don't know any better? Smells a little sour and a bit of a funk.

@ARCSTREAMS 3 года назад

yeah but i read from research this H2S is normal in the beginning stages of fermentation and will gas off on its own with the CO2 after vigorous fermentation starts ,the problem for me is i only encounter this smell and even the taste (funky) when i make ginger ale because i am only using the yeast to carbonate and since its in the bottle there is nothing i can do to remove it aside from making sure it got properly aerated before pitching the yeast and given proper nutrition in the yeast starter so it's a problem for me if those dont work

It kicked off a vigorous 2nd fermentation (as expected), but after about a week the rotten egg smell appeared (I did feed but possibly not enough and I didn’t oxygenate sufficiently, plus I suspect the). I tried splash racking, etc and after a couple of days it persisted. I tried the copper wire trick and that did the trick very quickly. So far so good, things are going pretty well now.

I had a nectarine mead that started farting. I threw three pre 1981 pennies, and that seemed to work too. Have to be 1981 or older. I took them out when I racked them, but I don't exactly remember how long they stayed in. Smell was gone though.

That'd be a great way to oxygenate your must, for sure. Oxygen in primary is good for yeast health and synthesis. And that can be as simple as whipping or shaking it really vigorously before pitching the yeast, as well as whipping it here and there during primary to ensure the yeast have the oxygen needed to do their job.

I always get the rotten egg smell when I make my carrot whiskey, but that is purely because of the specific high alcohol yeast I use for it.

I may be remembering it wrong though.

A vacuum pump works wonders you can slowly suck the sulfer smell out after the splash wrack. I've done it a few times. I just use a wine saver pump. Easy peasy. Sometimes it may take several rounds of creating a vacuum and letting it equalize, but it definitely works.

@bernthildre8700 2 года назад

This is probably the simplest fix! I first shook the fermentation container a few times, most of the sulphur smell went out with the CO2. Then I used the wine saver pump a few times, and the smell was gone. Splash racking was not required in my case.

One question... During splash racking oxygen is introduced. So what are the risks of oxidation and how do I tackle that?

@DointheMost 3 года назад

In this case you’d want to splash rack just until the smell dissipates. Because the oxygen is removing the H2S. My recommendation would be to stop short. Then take a smell a day later and see if it has gone away. If not, splash rack again. That said, I’d only splash rack a little then use the wire method.

I use a product called Reduless, which is a copper infused yeast and bentonite product, apply per directions and let sit for 3 days, then rack Scott Labs has a writeup on it. Historically pennies (back when they were actually made of copper) and lengths of copper pipe were also used, but there is so much questionable cheap materials out there, that I find it safer to pay for commercial products

When you splash rack, could there be any oxidation concerns?

@DointheMost 3 года назад

That depends on where you're at in the fermentation, mostly. If you're closer to the end of primary, I'd be more cautious. Hitting it with an antioxidant like campden tablets can help alleviate some concerns in that circumstance (once fermentation has completed, or when racking to secondary).

@morris1891 3 года назад

That is what I imagined, I had the rotten egg smell in a small cider batch which right now is sitting in secondary. My hope was that it will go away letting it sit on secondary, I need to check it this weekend.

Fining agent are compounds/ particles that will pull down particles in suspension, leaving a clear brew behing. Maybe you oculd try gelatine? I use it for beers but use bentonite for wines. You can try to find sparkolloids, chitosan or things like that. Try to reach out to your local brewing shop
