So I'm just about to bottle a cider I put down a couple of weeks ago. It's my first cider and first brew in my new brewing spot - under a friend's house, where there is a strong smell of two-stroke. My question is (and forgive me if it's really stupid), will this two-stroke smell have any effect on the cider at the bottling stage? Might some of it get into the bottles and effect the taste/smell? Should I bottle somewhere else to be safe?

Cheers,
DL

I bottle after a night on the turps and have had none of those smells get into my beer so i cant imagine it would be an issue as long as the bottles are cleaned etc before filling

Because the beer is airlocked it's unlikely that it would affect your beer IMHO.

I would wash bottles then bottle immediately. That way any smells would be eliminated by the cleaning of bottles.
