Smelly yeast

[Blove30]

Ok I guess I expect yeast to smell but the danstar Nottingham dry yeast smells very pungent now that I am rehydrating. Is that normal?

I used it once and it almost smelled like rotten milk. Beer turned out great though so I wouldn't worry.

Yeast doesn't smell good dude. Unless its in bread, mmm!

DOn't smell your yeast, and you won't have this problem.....

All fermentation is ugly, and smelly even when it's perfectly normal....so rather than having un-needed worries, and looking for monsters under your bed, don't bother doing things like that.

Trust your yeast, trust the process, and just pitch and walk away...don't look for problems that 99.9% of the times aren't there anyway.

Ugly, yes. But beautiful as well, I'm sure you'll agree
