Never bothered to sniff before. This is only my fifth batch. The hop aroma coming out of here is phenomenal.

Oh the joys of homebrewing! Some people (like my wife) do not like the smell but I'm with you! You can find some beautiful aroma!!!

I always smell my airlock. It's wonderful.

I've noticed over the time I've been brewing, that different strains of yeast will produce different aromas during fermentation. I've brewed with a few strains of White Labs yeast that are pretty potent sulfur producers during active fermentation, and the smell coming out of the airlock was something between burnt matches and rotten eggs. During one my last batches of homebrew, my wife asked what the nasty smell coming from my fermenter was. With a straight face and not missing a beat, I replied "Just yeast farts. Nothing to worry about."

Ahhhhh
Love that smell! I wish I could bottle the smell of my fermentation chamber...
