I know the answer is varied by type of beer...etc. However, I was just wondering how long does fermenting beer create an odor on average(pleasant or otherwise)?
 
My carboys are in a closet and I don't get much, if any, smells from them. Usually when I open up the closet it smells like grain. The only ones that have really smelled was a beer with Wyeast 1010 (only once though) and apfelwein. They both stunk like rotten eggs for a couple of days.
 
Currently brewing a simple coopers kit beer on a Whitelabs Kolsch yeastcake for a mate... and it stinks. Very sulphuric ! Past experience says .. don't worry, be happy ! Or as we say here in Oz, she'll be apples mate ! It aint the smell will kill ya !
