My Fermentation Smells Funny By   thenoisethatwemade • 03 Sep, 2017 • My fermentation smells funny, yup, you read that right! Thanks to Katie at Camra HQ a book entitled  'Camra's Home-Brewing Problem Solver'  landed in my post box. As I run a bi-monthy home-brew group and am sporadically brewing myself, I was naturally interested in the subject. Written by founder and head brewer of  Mystery Brewing Company , North Carolina - Erik Lars Myers with additional consultation from all round nice guy, Andy Parker from  Elusive Brewing  based in the UK. This is tapping into the brewing resurgence and is kind of like a home-brewing problem solver 101. With the format of the book starting at common issues or mistakes that a home-brewer may encounter on their journey. Cue titles like 'My fermentation smells funny' to 'My mash efficiency is low'. On the surface I see the thinking behind the format, it's highlighting possible areas where things go wrong in home-brew
