Everything was spotless before starting.
DJ one, is/was an Orange WOW. Started 03/10.
DJ two, is/was an Orange & Mango WOW. Started 03/10.
Both stink of sulphur, not a little, a lot! The front room is uninhabitable because of the smell.
Tasted both of them this evening too, and after what I've experienced, battery acid would be like drinking tea compared to these.
I've got a hydrometer, but no trial jar unfortunately, so it's a bit useless at the moment.
I've racked the Orange WOW into another DJ, added Fermentation Stopper and a Campden Tablet, clutching at straws potentially as I fear it is too late.
Both were fine yesterday afternoon, as the Mrs commented on the lovely aroma. They seem to have "turned" overnight, although I do understand a little Sulphur is given off during fermentation.
I don't think I've really got much to lose, there's around £2.50 in juice gone in to each of them, and probably 1.5kg of sugar across the pair, so probably £7 in ingredients. I would have had to puchase the yeast, campden, etc anyway.
Question is, what would cause it to turn so quickly?
Both have been producing bubbles quite contently, on the table.
