After my first batch with Danstar Nottingham, I decided I'd try Wyeast packs. The ease of the smack pack is well worth the extra three dollars, plus I can be sure it's viable before pitching without needing to make up a starter.
Have a keg of Caribou Slobber with 1332 that is fairly tasty. Have a Honey Weizen with 1010 that is good, even if a little on the boring side. Sitting in my fridge right now are three 1056's, one 1010, and one 1214.
Brew day is fast approaching. I'm worried my luck might run out sooner or later and don't want to learn the hard way with a off batch. Now's the time to learn!
Are there any Wyeast strains that are generally considered outright bad? How about sub-par compared to White Labs or Safale?
