Dear fellow homebrewers, I am a new homebrewer (15 all grain budgets so far). I use a simple bucket as fermentation vessel with a blowoff tube. I have recently started using a maylar balloon to avoid suckback/O2 when cold crashing (with success).
I now want to brew a lagger. I will be getting Sulfur smell (based on previous attempt) and I am aware it fades away if I keep the beer in the fermenter before kegging for 7-10 more days.
My question is, will using a maylar balloon this time, have the same successful outcome? I mean, any sulfur escaping during fermentation, will be kept in the balloon (along with CO2 of course) and when I start to coldcrash, wouldn't sulfur 'return' in the bucket? How will sulfur smell 'escape' in a setup like this? Would love to hear from any of you using maylar balloons when brewing lagers.
Cheers
