    Hey all
    I just opened a pack pf wyeast 2278 czech pils to add to a starter. I was surprised at the smell of it. Didn't smell at all like any other yeast I have used before and this is the first time using this yeast. Tasted off too. Anyone else notice this.
    Also it is about 3 weeks past it's best date. I am leery of pitching this stuff before getting any feedback if this is normal for this yeast.
    Thanks.
    D

    Using this now. Was a little different smelling then the Munich Pils I am using in the other half of the split batch. Very slow yeast. Last year it took 2 days to start, this year at 48 degrees it took 4 days. Then the sulfur smell starts. Well worth it. Last years oktoberfest was amazing.
