Hello,
My name is Jonny,
Im an air lock sniffer..Ive been an airlock sniffer for years...

Anywho,I just took a whiff and got nothing but straight gas,instant light head and now I have a bit of a headache.Normally I get a bready,maybe mixed with a little gas smell but this time nearly knocked my socks off.Its 2 days in, in full fermentation.Is this a sign of the yeast crankin away possibly givin me an awesome brew or is it a bad thing that Im getting no breadyness.Ive made the same beer many times and never had it like this CO3Crops..First time using a ferm chamber also us05 at 62. Could it be the perfect stable environment has the yeast goin nuts.
Also,I dumped around 400ML slurry from a jar I had in the fridge for 6 months.I went a little heavy as I wasn't sure about the viability of the yeast.Never used yeast slurry that old before.Guess it was plenty viable
 
Careful, CO2 can burn. Your lungs like O2, right? Never stick your nose down in a bucket with active fermentation. I suppose an airlock could be trouble at peak fermentation also.
