You're asking if it's normal for a container of wort to give off a beer-like smell? Heh... What do you mean by "funky" though? Mine always have a nice tart hoppy smell that hopefully stinks up the whole dining room
Congratulations!!!
I remember the excitement of my first batch. The anticipation was unbearable.
As long as your cleanliness and sanitation practices were good, you have nothing to worry about. Remember, cleanliness/sanitation is the single most important step in making beer. Everything else comes with education, experience and experimentation.
Bad news - I ordered 3 packs of Nottingham Brewers Yeast only to find out about all the "problems" (from this thread) with that particular yeast after receiving it.
