methanol odor

I have a fairly strong methanol odor in my finished bio. I use 20
% methanol, KOH, 2-stage processing, drywash with Purolite and pass the 3/27 and shakem-up tests. Bio is clear, but opening up a drum lid and the fumes are potent. Is this normal to have this smell this strong and will the methanol cause any problems?
