How much difference does different yeast strains really make? Is it perceptible like what kind of apples you used or is it delicate nuances when doing a blind tasting?

    KillerTofu got it right, I just wanted to post and agree rather than just upvote. Yeasts changed the flavor of my homebrewing pretty significantly as well.

      Same—my local micro brewery does a night once a month where they demo things about brewing. One month they made 6 ales with identical ingredients apart from a different strain of yeast for each. 6 very different drinks.
