Slight sulfur smell

I made my own Mirror Pond Clone. I was impatient. I racked to keg 1 week after brew day, which is probably too hasty. I did cold crash the beer and there was no visiable sign of fermentation when I did. The beer is now carbonated but I smell slight yet undeniable presence of sulfur aka rotten egg smell. Has this happened to anyone before? Can I take it out of the kegerator for a d-rest? Will it go away overtime? The only difference from my normal brewing process was I used organic malts and kegging after only a week.

Stay Funky,

Sulphur will scrub out if you let it de-gas.
Basically, all you need to do is disconnect the gas, depressurize it, and let the carbonation go back to atmospheric pressure and let it go flat abd warm back up to room temp over a few days to a week. Then, just hook the carbonation back up and re-carb/chill it.
