So I made a 1.5 liter starter out of some washed yeast 1275 Thames valley. On the stir plate it went nuts foaming out the top of my 2000 ml flask. It smelled great just like it was suppose to. I put it in the fridge to crash for 2 days and when I decanted it to warm up it smelled a little bit like eggs. What do you think? Will I be ok using this yeast? It's all I got so its gonna have to do.
 
I was getting sulphur for a day or so out of my last batch with WLP023 which is supposed to be the same strain. I wouldn't worry too much about it, just make sure to give it plenty of nutrients for the main fermentation.
