Made a starter yesterday and when I cracked open the vial to pitch the yeast noticed a very strong, sour aroma. Caught me by surprise... I know yeasts can smell and ferment funky, but I don't have experience with this strain.
Anybody use this yeast before and notice the same thing? I even tasted a tiny bit (what was left in the vial after I pitched) and it tasted sour as well.
Wondering if I should plan on scrapping this starter... I am letting it go for now, but as of this morning the starter is smelling sour as well.
