hello forumites! So I have spent a good while looking at the 'smelly wine' threads and haven't seen an answer that deals with the issue I have - most deal with posters asking about their fermenting or newly fermented wine/cider smelling sulphurous, whereas my blackberry wine is two months old and only now is a bit pongy, whereas it smelled fine at fermentation.
I have two DJs of the stuff that I had added yeast nutrient to at fermenting, racked off after a week and added campden tabs (everything else cleaned and sterilised)
I just racked for the second time yesterday after two months and noticed the egg smell - should I have done the second racking much sooner after the first?
Attempting to fix it I have been trying to aerate it by racking again and the smell seems to have diminished somewhat in one DJ but not the other, does anyone have any advice? Thanks in advance :)
