I'm really new to brewing and went to my LHBS this week to pick up my next kit. The store clerk was awesome and helped explain yeast starters to me so that I could save money. We began discussing the affect the yeast has on beer. I realized for the first time that most of the beer I really enjoy are Belgian beers. For example, normally I am not a big fan of IPA's. I am just not a fan of the bitter bite that most have that being said he had brewed a Belgian IPA that was fantastic.
I didn't realize how much of an influence the yeast had over the balance of a beer. Maybe this seems obvious to everyone else and this is a moment I should be embarrassed to be sharing. If so feel free to mock away.
That being said I was curious to learn more about different yeast and what it's affect on beers are. I found a little information about what esters different types of yeast throw, but I thought someone here might have more information.
Thanks in advance.
