I know that to brew a big beer, you need a yeast that can tolerate high-gravity wort.
Conversely, is there any issue with using a big yeast (i.e. WLP500) in a smaller beer (i.e. a Belgian ale somewhere in the 5-6% ABV range)? I understand that the yeast could easily ferment the wort, my question is more about flavor and yeast expressiveness - does this matter?
