Using cheese as an example, it's the difference between camembert and gorgonzola: same basic ingredient, different yeast. Different colour and massively different flavour.
Same with yeast for wine: fruity citrus with overtones of vomit.
- emodendroket 8y agoI mean I am a lot more familiar with sour beers, but I love the funky flavors they give bizarre names like "sweaty horse blanket."
- foobar1962 8y agoAs a brewer you want to have a consistent product. Once you'd got a brew with just the right amount of "horse blanket" you'd cultivate that yeast culture and use it again. To do that you need to make sure there are no other yeast strains in the raw ingredients. Louis Pasteur was working on beer brewing when he discovered the microbes, and invented the heating process to kill them.
