I've been brewing using Weiss amber LME. Three batches each one adjusting the hops. I'm fairly happy with the hops now. Next batch I'd like to try four different yeasts. (I have 4 fermenters, 15 gallon batches) What would you suggest ? I've just been using Munton's ale yeast so far.
I guess to explain further, I figure by keeping the extract and yeast the same til now it helps me compare the different hops. Now if I leave the extract and hops the same and try different yeasts I can get an accurate comparison how the different yeast affects my beer. Once I decide on that maybe I'll fiddle with adding some specialty malts or something. Or start working on a lager or something different.
This may seem a little bone-headed when there are plenty of perfectly good recipes I could just copy, but it seems important for me to better understand how the different ingredients affect my beer and taste it for myself.
