I have an all-grain lager fermenting at 48 F in my chest freezer. It's actively bubbling away and is about at high krausen or maybe just a little passed. I used WLP830 (German Lager) yeast. It has that great sulfur aroma, but if I really get my head down in the chest freezer (without losing consciousness) there's an acrid (but somehow pleasant) odor that burns my nose! Anyone know what that is? It's almost estery, but I was surprised at how it burned my nose and took my breath away.
