I am in the process of brewing my 2nd batch ever. I'm a noob. I was racking my Sweet Stout tonight. After 3 weeks in the primary fermentation bucket, I opened the lid and naturally took a huge smell of it. I was almost knocked backwards with a strong alcohol / chemical smell. I feared something went horribly wrong. However, after a few seconds, all additional sniffs were pleasant. I'm new to this, so is that initial strong smell expected or do I have a problem? I can't detect any chemical smell at all now and am not sure I ever truly did. I think its ok but wow was I shocked by the initial blast. Input?
