Subject: Yeast Matters!!
|
As I continue to grow and learn the process, I am learning quickly that
the yeast really does matter. When I use the yeast that comes in the
kits, they all tend to have a very similar taste.
I was skeptical in the past, and had to learn the hard way but sometimes
that is the best way.
I love the NG.

Yep, you can split your wort between two fermenters, pitch different
yeasts to each one, and end up with completely different beers.

Absolutely! It's the life of the beer; the living part of the beer.

I never use kits. Water, 7lbs malt, 2oz hops and yeast. Keeping
everything the same but changing the yeast. One day we'll find the
yeast, just the right one and from there it's all down hill.

No doubt, but you might consider that a wise person learns from the
mistakes of others.
