Most smell pretty freakin' terrible when you open the package or reydrate. S-04, however, smells very pleasantly like popcorn.

Any other yeast sniffers out there? :cross:
 
Hmmm, I've never sniffed the yeast - guess I'll start doing that!

I have, however, been known to keep the package that the Liberty hops came in, after they've been used, just to deeply inhale from it til the smell all wears out. I love the smell of that stuff!
 
i really like us-05 in the beginnings of fermentation. Slightly peachy, slightly fruity, nice n' yeasty, makes my room smell great!
