I brewed my first American Wheat/Rye and just kegged it last night.
I used a starter made with a fresh pack of Wyeast 1010 American Wheat.
I've never used this yeast before -- the beer smells weird. Almost skunky. I used fresh pellet hops when I brewed it, and the beer wasn't subjected to light...I fermented it in the same closet I always use for that purpose. Fermentation temperature was about 64F.
Anyone else encountered this? I'm hoping it's just what that strain of yeast does. I guess we'll see how the beer turns out after it's carbonated.
