I recently brewed a NB Hefe All Grain kit. It gave off quite a lot of sulfur smell for about 2-3 days. On day 11 I transferred to a keg, but upon opening the fermenter it had quite a lot of sulfur smell still. I totally forgot to take a final gravity reading. I then cold crashed it in my fermentation chamber at 40F for 8 days(waiting on a keg to kick). I tapped it this morning and took a sample. It smells of banana(and a little sulfur) and tastes rather bitter/sour. Upon searching, several people have experienced this and say letting it age or condition for another week or 2 should mellow/balance things out. Should I let it sit in the kegerator chilled and hooked up to the gas? Or should I remove it and condition at room temps?
