Is it normal for beer to smell like rotten eggs if you use champagne yeast. I dont see any signs of infection yet.... Im just worried about the smell.
 
Some recipes will give off a sulfur smell during fermentation. From what I understand they are mostly lagers. Using champagne yeast for brewing beer is usually not a good idea.
 
I'm in El Paso too!

Champagne yeast can throw out some sulfur, as well as wine yeast.

Why did you use champagne yeast for your beer? What kind of beer is it? What's the recipe?
