I know there are literally millions of strains of yeast out there and we use a large number of them when brewing.
But are there any specific strains that you just don't physically agree with?
I did a faux lager recently using a cali-common yeast from geterbrewed. It really upset my stomach after a couple of pints. No it wasn't am infection, as my friends loved the stuff and had no complaints from them!
Subsequently I did an IPA and again used the same cali-common yeast and again, after 2 pints I'm suffering the next morning.
This is the only yeast I've had a problem with 'down there', but just wondering if this is really rare, or is it common for people to have disagreeable reactions to certain yeast strains when brewing?
And no, this is not a dig at geterbrewed! In no way am I saying their yeast is suspect or in any way are they to blame. I love that company, they are absolutely fantastic!!!
