If you ask a brewer what is required to make a successful beer, most will tell you that, besides skill, passion, and devotion, the four most important ingredients in any type of beer are hops, malt, water, and yeast.
However of these four, it is perhaps yeast that is the most important. Over 500 different flavours and aromas are derived from yeast. Many brewers spend a lot of time and money on other ingredients and ignore the importance of adding high quality and bacteria free yeast to their wort. A brewer should spend as much time if not more selecting their yeast strain as they do selecting the rest of their ingredients.
There is greater variety with liquid yeast as only certain yeast strains can be dried. The variety of liquid yeast strains gives the brewer the flexibility to produce a wider range of beer styles.
