Many of the Norther Brewer kits give you an option for dry yeast or Wyeast. It seems that they all use US04 or US05 dry yeast, or one of many varieties of Wyeast.
Is it better to use the Wyeast? It seems it has more "beer specific" strains vs. a more general use dry yeast. So far I have opted for the simplicy of dry yeast, but may switch for my next brew. The cost difference is $3-$4. Will I even notice a difference?
