Made a starter yesterday, but I think it was around 75-80 in my house. Brewed first thing in the morning, poured my starter in, but it had a weird smell. Should I be concerned? I made a Hefe two months ago but don't recall if the smell was present in that starter.
 
Could be the smell, not much I can do now. I pitched it, just going to have to wait and see. On a positive note, I finally have a OG of 1.056. I've been getting 1.04 on my other beers.
 
I agree, don't sweat it, yeast pee alcohol and fart co2, nasty when you think about it.
