This forum is for discussions on yeast strains and fermentation techniques. Proper fermentation is absolutely critical to making great beer, from yeast handling, to proper pitch rates, to temperature, to dry vs. liquid, to of course the brand and type chosen.
Some yeasts are neutral and clean (such as White Labs WLP001 California Ale) and let the flavour of the hops and malt come through while others (such as White Labs WLP300 Hefeweizen) are so critical to the flavour that using anything else would actually make a completely different beer.
The quality of dry yeasts oven recent years has improved greatly and have also become enormously popular due to the ease of use over liquid brands. Fermentis Safale US-05, for example, is a favourite in our brewery for many styles of American Ales. Gone of the days when the only dry yeasts available were the crappy yeast sachets that are included under the tops of kit beer cans.
Many brewers simply overlook the critical step that is fermentation and don't end up with beer as good as it could be - don't let this be you!
