During the ferment, many beer yeast's, particularly lager strains, give off sulfur compounds. This is not a problem and your beer is not spoiled. As the ferment proceeds, the amount of sulfur smell will decrease, and sulfur smell will not be present in the finished beer.

You would know it if you had this problem! In some parts of the country, drinking water can contain the chemical hydrogen sulfide, which smells just like rotten eggs. This can occur when water comes into contact with organic matter or with some minerals, such as pyrite. The situation mostly occurs as ground water filters through organic material or rocks.

It sounds as if you have a problem with Hydrogen Sulfide in your water. Water absorbs this gas as it passes through the ground. When you turn on your faucet, you actually vent the gas from your tap water. Hydrogen sulfide can be treated with oxidation and carbon filtration. The water then passes through a filter that removes the sulfur. The result is water free of the "rotten egg" smell you describe. See similar questions...

Typically the cause is water staying in the water heater too long. This causes the water to turn stagnant. Single handle type water faucets are typically being used in these situations and are not being fully turned to the cold position. This can occur when a water heater is too large for the amount of hot water typically used. It can also occur when the dip tube (cold water inlet) in the water heater deteriorates. Flushing out the water heater will provide an immediate temporary solution. See similar questions...

A foul odor is most likely due to biologic growth in the chemistry tanks. When the water and chemistry is emptied, clean the tanks well with a 1% solution of household bleach and water. Rinse thoroughly then refill the tanks. See similar questions...

The smell of rotten eggs is common when the battery is filled for the first time. When you fill the battery with acid, the initial reaction between the plates and the acid produces sulfur dioxide. It smells like rotten eggs, but it is harmless and will dissipate within a short time. See similar questions...

The rotten egg smell is caused by hydrogen sulfide (H 2S) gas. Although the smell is unpleasant it is not harmful. Water heater tanks can provide an ideal environment for the production of hydrogen sulfide gas because it is a result of the corrosion of metals, such as the steel in a water heater. Although most water heaters are glass lined to prevent corrosion, it is impossible to prevent cracks from occurring. See similar questions...

In order to get laying hens you have to have fertile eggs and half the eggs will hatch into male chicks. These are killed at once or raised as table birds (usually these days in broiler houses) and slaughtered as soon as they reach an economic weight. See similar questions...

A frequent cause of musty, earthy odors, especially toward the end of the summer, is naturally occurring organic compounds derived from the decay of plant material in lakes and reservoirs. The odors can be objectionable, but generally are not harmful to health. However, odors can be caused by other constituents as well, so you may want to call your local Health Department and mention the odor to them. See similar questions...

Sure, you can even get beer brewed on Islay: Islay Ales was opened in 2004 and is brewing a variety of Real Ales. You can find the brewery with its small visitor centre on Islay House Square, Bridgend. The beer is available in most pubs and restaurants on Islay. See similar questions...

While both male and female chickens can be raised for meat, only females can produce eggs, so about 280 million male chicks per year are disposed of by being shoved into plastic bags and left to suffocate at hatcheries. Conditions at egg factory farms are atrocious. Cage floors are made of wire mesh, so waste falls from the upper tiers onto the chickens below. A single cage, roughly 16 by 18 inches, holds five to six hens, each with a wingspan of 32 inches. See similar questions...

Beer is made from extracting sugar from the starch in malted grain. This is boiled with sufficient water & hops to make a "wort." When this has cooled, brewing yeast is added to ferment the wort to create this finished product, which is suitable for bottling or kegging, and maturation. Some people mash their own grain, while others buy canned malt extract. See similar questions...

Yes. However, it has recently been established by lab tests conducted by the Kombucha Consumer Research Group ™, that some plastic components in Ziplock bags will be leached into the contents of the bag during long-term storage. See similar questions...

The yolk color of the egg is determined solely on the feed the bird has ingested. A dark yellow or orange yolk is a result of an increased amount of corn the hen has consumed. A difference in yolk color does not mean a difference in quality of egg. The consumer choice in Alberta, for the most part, seems to be a light yellow yolk. See similar questions...

In this article, the author, David George, explains why health care professionals should always charge a co pay and collect it at the time services are rendered to the patient. aging American population and changes to Medicare regulations in the early nineties have produced a booming medical billing industry. Medical practices simply can't cope under the strain of increasing paper work and client enquiries. See similar questions...

Nothing is wrong. Certain preserved sea life does have a natural odor, and sometimes it's pretty strong! We'll tell you in the item description if it has a noticeable aroma. Generally: seashells and corals have no odor at all, dried starfish mostly have a slight smell, and certain stars/sponges are downright powerful. Again, check the item description or email for details. See similar questions...
