Should be OK...unless you left the lid off for a long time or you left the lid on something nasty ....it is hard to not make beer...RDWHAHB!

I wouldn't open it anymore, just let it be, it will be fine.

If it comes out green, you could save it for St. Patrick's Day.

Fermenting beer can smell BAD.

The proper technique in ALL cases is to as follows, and in this exact order...:

FIRST.........do not SMELL your fermenting beer. EVER, this means you.

SECONDLY......do not OPEN your fermenter unless you need to take a hydrometer reading.....which I honestly never do.

As soon as you finish NOT opening your fermenter, immediately proceed to NOT smell it either. Repeat.
