Interesting! Thanks for the tip. Now there is a lot of different kinds of yeast around. Can I completely screw up a batch (as in: undrinkable) by using the wrong type of yeast or will it just be a different flavor?

i dont think using the wrong type of yeast for a style of beer will make it undrinkable, it just won't be to style. can you use t-58 in an IPA? sure. will it taste good? that is up for debate.
more to point, certain yeasts are for certain styles for some of the flavors they put out and for some of the fermentation characteristics as well. some yeasts don't attenuate all that well and leave the FG high, which is what is needed. some ferment at certain temps and some bring the FG down low, again, mostly all to style.

...Now there is a lot of different kinds of yeast around. Can I completely screw up a batch (as in: undrinkable) by using the wrong type of yeast or will it just be a different flavor? In a lot of cases there would be a subtle difference in others you would not be to style. Malt, hops, and yeast always make beer. Can you always drink it? I don't know. I'd say the main thing to be careful of is the differences between Ale. Lager, Wheat, and Belgian yeasts.

Lager, Wheat, and Belgian yeasts. +1 as long as your fermentation follows one of the styles above for their respective yeasts then you will be fine....sure you can mix them around a little bit..but I would def not start doing that right away...lol more important than the type of yeast is how you treat it, to making a good beer....doesn't have to be to style to be a good beer...

How I treat the yeast? Do you mean storage? Activation?

activation - rehydration and starters, as well as proper pitching amounts, temps and fermentation time and temps. storage is important as well, always store in the fridge until you are ready to brew.

A little update. Almost one week in. All noticeable activity has ceased in the fermenter for two days. So I wanted to see how far along it was. Took a little taste in a shotglass and HOLY F%#^$&BALLS!!! It tastes like flat beer! And like pretty good flat beer at that! Lightly carbonated. Lightly bitter. And I made it! I made beer! Still waiting until next weekend to bottle, but so far I love it.
Note: Liquid was cloudy and I was surprised by the small amount of trub on the bottom. The bottom surface was covered, but somehow I thought that there would be sizeable buildup.
