my tepache tastes good but smells like barn & feet

Blech. Tepache failure. It's supposed to go for 3-5 days, but mine didn't kick off for a bit. Day 6 & tastes good, but smells like a barn has gym feet. So weird.

Looks good though! What did you add for sweetener?

Brown sugar at the start, mostly for fermentation. During tasting, nothing. It was still mildly sweet. The plan was to back sweeten with erythritol, but I dumped it.

Don't ferment tepache dry. Treat it like a ginger soda.
