Gday all, im new to the game, got my 2nd brew on the go atm. the first was a lager and turnd out quite alright...especially for my first shot. Im worried atm tho as my brew is staying at a good temp, and is bubbling away, yet its producing a very very very bad gas smell.... if id farted out this smell id be rather impressd yet slightly worried that my diet was screwd up.... what would be the cause of such a smell? and is there no point to continuing the brew....? its only been fermenting for a couple of days now....

Thanks guys and im very much looking forward to regularly visiting this site!
