yeast smell stuck in nose? anyone else experience this

[DrGarbonzo]

Anyone ever get a particularly pungent yeast strain smell "stuck" in their nose/ mouth? I smelled my starter of wild yeast harvest starter yesterday and then when I smelled two different carboys and drank a separate beer, all of them smelled like the pungent starter! It was strange enough that I thought I had an infection in both carboys but I think somehow the yeast just overpowered my sense of smell and taste for a few hours.

Yup, and not just from yeast.

Smell some coffee beans, it's the sensory trick used in the perfume industry to reset your smell organ.
I guess (freshly) ground coffee should work equally well.

Cool, good tip!
