I need help from you wizards out there that have experience with Wyeast 1010. We're getting a lot of sulfur dioxide during fermentation. Sometimes this dissipates by keeping the beer at fermentation temps post terminal. Other times we scrub the smell out with CO2 when it hangs around. This is really messing with our ability to turn the beer around in a reasonable time frame because of the inconsistencies.
We ferment at the same temp 68* every time with fresh yeast from Wyeast. We reach terminal in 4-5 days and rest at 68* for an additional 2-3 days before crashing. The recipe has been consistent each time with different levels of SO2. We don't add any nutrients and knock out at 66-68*.
The recipe consists of 85% Pilsen, 10% Wheat, 5% Honey. We have ~9-10% head space in the fermenter.
Do any of you have any tips or tricks for this yeast strain? My next brewday I planned on starting with a lower fermentation temp to see if that helps but wanted to get input from those who may have already solved this issue.
Thank you for your time!
