how much does the type of yeast affect the overall flavor of the soda

FarFromBilly · Jun 21, 2013

I started brewing soda. I was wondering if there is any noticable flavor differences with bottle conditioning with different yeasts? Any suggestions on what yeasts yeild a less noticable "yeastie" taste. Or would reducing the amount of water per batch going to be enough to enhance the overall flavor of the soda to counteract any noticable "yeastieness"?
Thanks

Champagne yeasts are generally recommended. I've used Red Star pasteur champagne, and there is still a yeasty taste to it, but less noticible than bread yeast. I've also had success with Red Star Premier Cuvee with recipes that are prone to H2S (rotten egg) smells.
