Explain sulfur production in relation to yeasts

[atomicjoe23]

Two of the yeasts that are recommended in the recipe that I'm going to use to make my first hef talk about sulfur production. . .could someone explain what this means to me?

Thanks,

It's going to smell while it's fermenting.

You will get a rotten egg smell during fermentation. I also see this happening with lager yeasts.

The smell does not generally carry over into the finished beer though.
