Lager yeast, sulphur smell

[RexBanner]

Evening all.
Have a Wilko Cerveza on the go and used to packets of youngs lager yeast.
I sprinkled it dry at 23c onto the wart and it did nout for 24hrs.
So I gave it a stir and b*gger me sideways it's off like a rocket!! 48 hours later and the airlocks still going mad like a raped ape.
Thing is My little brew cupboard now smells of rotten eggs/farts. Is this normal or is it off? I don't wanna take lid off while it's chugging merrily away to see.

Gan Canny All.

It's perfectly normal for lager yeast to give off sulphur smells.

Okie dokie so all's well then.

In HB we trust.

I would advise to hydrate the yeast (assuming you used dry yeast) before pitching next time. I pitch into 240ml sterilised water and leave for a few hours. It just prepares the yeast for its job. Plenty of info on Google.
