1) I never realized that the strain of brewers yeast had an effect on flavor. I had thought it just made the alcohol, and I wondered why there were different kinds. Now I know - and they say TV rots your brain.
2) I also noticed that it seems like in every episode they talk about the danger of having to dump a batch. Is the fermentation process really that touchy, or are they just being overdramatic in order to make for more exciting television?
