Used Red Star Champagne Yeast for Amber Ale...

[calimainer]

I didn't notice until this morning but I accidentally put champagne yeast into an amber ale. How will this affect the taste, and how can I remedy the presumably off flavors this yeast will impart?
Thanks

This has been discussed here before, and I think the final word was that champagne yeast can't deal with the complex sugars in beer and will thus under-attenuate, leaving your beer too sweet. I don't think you'll get off flavors though, as champagne yeast is neutral. People sometimes use it in addition to beer yeast for big beers because it has high alcohol tolerance.

So maybe if you add beer yeast in addition, it will be no harm, no foul (or perhaps it will go too far and give you a really dry beer....I don't know).
