What Gases Does Yeast Create?

[peas_and_corn]

OK, now I am making two lagers in my fermentation fridge, using the yeast saflager w34/70. Since it is a chest freezer, heavier gases, naturally, settle inside it. In the fridge there is a gas that has been created by the fermentation process that smells... well, not very nice. Since CO2 is odourless, what could it be? Is this a byproduct that is particular to this strain of yeast, particular to lager yeasts or created by all yeasts (and not noticed by me before as this is the first beer made in the fridge)?

Here is another

peas and korn, Just thought I would post that first link since I have found it to be the most informative since I started brewing and wasnt sure if you had come across it before.

I do use the search function, and like fingerlickin couldn't find anything useful, so I posted.

Dispense with the sarcasm.

P&KIm not convinced that was sarcasm on Jyes part.

In fact, I was unaware the forum could be searched in such detail.
