I've been trying to determine the most neutral dry yeast that doesn't mute hop flavor/aroma. The two main ones I've looked into are US-05 and BRY-97 and I've heard pros and cons about each of them:
Some say that US-05 is more neutral than BRY-97 and others say the opposite.
Some say that US-05 gives undesirable peach flavors and BRY-97 gives banana flavors.
Some say that BRY-97 mutes hop flavor/aroma due to higher flocculation and others say that US-05 does also even though it has lower flocculation.
I know that US-05 was the go-to favorite for a long time, but now seems to be falling out of favor for some reason. I've also considered Lutra Kveik, but some say that it's not as clean as others and I can't keep it at a high temperature anyway.
Overall, I'm just trying to find the best neutral dry yeast that lets malt and hops shine as much as possible. I know opinions and knowledge change over time, so please let me know what you think and give me any suggestions you have that meet my criteria.
Thanks in advance!
