I split a 45 litre batch and fermented it using 2 different dried ale yeast varieties and was suprised the differences that it made.

I was intending to make a session beer and was very happy with the "aley" flavours that the Mauri Produced. the Fermentis was significantly cleaner, still very pleasant but not quite what I had in mind.
The Mauri yeast is actually used in the mid to upper level kit beers here and is looked on as a "lesser" yeast.
