Its been a while so here's what when down...
5/3 8:00AM - Started to smell really bad again. A lot of H2S is being produced. The big problem is that I don't have time to add any nutrients.
5/3 2:00PM - The smell started to dissipate on its own. I'm just going to let it go and splash rack/ copper it when its finished...
5/5 9:00PM - The SG measures @ 1.002, pH @ 3.5. Its dry now so I'm going to rack it off the gross lees.
As it turns out this shit smells... like shit. That H2S is strong. So I racked it through 10 feet of 3/8" copper tubing and splashed it into a 6 gallon Better Bottle. The total yield was low. This didn't even come close to filling the carboy. A good 5-6" of sludge was left in the bottom of the bucket.
I used a hose clamp to slow the flow through the copper pipe that should have given it enough time to react with the nasty. I hope it did.
Added 1.5g of K-Meta and 2.5 tsp of Bentonite. I also added 1/3 gallon of spring water to help make up for the loss...
I'll rack it in one month on 6/5.
