my beer is in the fermenting bucket with the air lock it started bubbling just a few days ago and has been every since. I started the process a week ago from tommorow. This is my first brew and it smells like very green beer or almost rotten. Is this normal or am just being too paranoid?
My kitchen smells funny!

A sulfur smell (rotten eggs) is normal. I would not worry about it. Just give it time the smell will go away
Well its very off putting when people walk into the kitchen and ask,"wtf is that smell!" So i tell them," oh its just the beer were making" and every person has came back with the same answer,"............your going to drink that?" Lol

The coolest room in my house is the downstairs bathroom. You don't have to apologize but people must think i'm not healthy.
Oh and yeah, it's not like that for all brews but some stink like sin. There's a wheat strain that I used last year that refused to be ignored!

Just be careful if you put it in a spot with very little air circulation... The CO2 will build up! I have 15 gallons fermenting in a chest freezer - when you open it up it will about knock you out from the concentrated CO2!!!
