Are there any particular yeast strains you avoid? I don't mean for any certain style, just ones you may have had bad luck with, whether it be poor attenuation, off-flavors, etc. or maybe it just wasn't what you expected from it. For whatever reason, is there any you just won't go back to?
I plan on letting the discount bin at my LHBS deciding which yeast/brews I'll be doing for my next couple of batches. I'm incredibly indecisive and also want to use it to branch out into trying new yeast strains, but don't want to accidentally get stuck with a dud. i'm probably doing a vienna/centennial smash, so as long as its not belgian or lager yeast ill probably use it (eh, even then I may still). last time I was there it was WLP022 (essex ale) which I think could make for an interesting batch.
I look forward to hearing about your unfortunate experiences
