I've been making yeast starters and IIaleays decant and taste them.
I do this to check if anything might be wrong with the yeast but also to get an idea of the flavor and aroma.
What surprised me is that the difference for the yeasts I've used so far are very very minimal.
I always have the chance to taste them side by side as I make 2 starters every time.
So far I've used
London ale III, S-04, gy054 vermont, wlp0644, kveik hothead, ebbegarden, voss..
The only one that really stood out was hornindal with its typical mushroom like flavor.
It makes me wonder if perhaps making a starter is not representative of the finalf yeast flavor and aroma.
