I am new to brewing..please help me understand the differences in yeast...for example why use lavlin ec118vs Montrachet....or white labs California ale vs. white labs British ale....when is it ok to substitute?
I just ordered a bunch of extract kits and many of them are pilsners...I am going to start harvesting yeast and saving them so I don't have to keep spending $7 on yeast..however I don't have space for tons of small jars in the fridge....is there a general chart explaining the differences in yeast and why one perticular style is used for a kind of beer...
Right now I just buy what the kit tells me...usually white labs cause it's a nice small vile for my fridge....but I would love to learn more about yeast in general..
Thanks in advance!
