Why do my wheat beers smell

[jimmywit]

So I have just started doing all grain and well the 2 wheat beers have smelled. It is not a nice smell but not sour. The beer taste great it just smells funny. does anyone know why?

What does it smell like? Can you describe it?

Also, what was your brewing/bottling process? Ingredients? Type of yeast? Has this happened with other beers you've made?

We need more details to even take a stab at an answer.

All beers smell, but wheat beers really smell......

Can you describe the smell at all? Does it smell similar to anything specific?

Because you touch yourself at night!

Actually, the fermentation tends to stink pretty bad-- lots of sulfur. However, I haven't noticed any bad smell of the finished product myself, but I keg. If you bottle, perhaps it's a bit of the sulfur from the carbonation process?

When I did ectract they never had this aroma and the other all grain I have done do not smell either. It may sound strange but it smells like fruity protein. It is something I have never smelled before and can't put my finger on it. May be it is the switch to all grain and I am not used to it. Or maybe the esters?
