Lately I have been using yeast that draws negative comments brewing boards to brew with and I have been very impressed with them.
I brewed the Murphy's Stout clone recipe from BYO and used Windsor yeast -- it has great flavor and my girl really digs it -- no it is not like Murphy's, though.
On Saturday I bottled a sweet orange peel wheat that I brewed with Safbrew S-33(fermented at 72F). This yeast was of particular interest to me since most of these boards indicate it is British(EDME) while the manufacture says it can be used in Belgian styles. It has mostly carbonated up and it has a great pineapple/mango finish in addition to the orange. I don't know what profile EDME produces, but is pineapple/mango considered to be British?
My 3rd misfit yeast is Munton's Active Brewing Yeast(the cheap green and yellow packet) working on Northern Brewer's The Innkeeper recipe. The airlock just stopped and I will probably bottle it this weekend. I'm hoping to go 3 of 3 with the misfits!!!
What are the other unloved yeasts out there?
