I have just brewed a Cascade Spicy ghost, when I went to bottle it, It had a bit of a sulphur smell to it. Any suggestions?

did you taste any of it when you were bottling?

bottle it anyway. If it tastes cruddy in a few months time then yes you have ruined it. Until then, relax and have a beer.
I accidently dunked my (unwashed) hand in my last brew when adding the yeast and it came out fine.

Just bottle it. If it doesn't taste right in a few months, wait a few more.

In my oppinion this is the best answer to any question along the lines of "is my recently-bottled brew going to turn out ok?"Chris wrote:Just bottle it. If it doesn't taste right in a few months, wait a few more.
By throwing it out immedieately, you'll deny your beer the opportunity to make itself better without any extra work from you. If it really IS a bad beer and you have to throw it out, does it really matter if it is now or in six months time?
