Is this normal?

Hi all,

Fermentation had been stuck on my brew for a while so I roused it earlier and chucked a little dried yeast in to get it moving. There is definitely action now and rather than smelling of yeast, it smells very strongly of alcohol - almost enough to burn my
nostril hairs off! Is this normal?

if you get your face right in there and snort yes :grin:

its just the esters off the co2, you want to try whiffing a 2500brl fermentation!

Aye. You don't do that twice.
