What you are smelling is most likely just carbon dioxide, which is kind of sour. Unless it's foul and making you gag, I wouldn't worry about it.

I am assuming your question is "is this ok?".

Suggestion - Back away from the airlock and don't ever do that again! :fro:

All is good. Some yeasts will spell like a fart after the prior evenings Super Bowl party, some will smell like bread, and so on and so on. It all works out and is part of the magic.
