Just made a 5l starter of 1968 that went off like a rocket. Before pitching I noticed a medicinal smell. Is this common? Reading up on the yeast it mentions high phenols so I’m hoping it’s not going to translate into the beer. I’ve used this yeast a few times btw but can’t remember if the starters ever had this aroma.

Cheers Kal, just hoping I haven't F***ed up by using it. Most starters I make smell very yeasty / bready.
Anyway, I'm sure ill find out the hard way in 2 weeks.
