Here is the homebrew version of a schwarzbier that won a bronze medal at the GABF a few years ago. I'm sure the German purists and style fascists would say to ditch the crystal and black patent and roast barley, and use only debittered black malt to achieve the color, but I can say this is quite a tasty beer.

I brewed a recipe last year that won the 2003 NHC that was published in Zymurgy that came out fantastic. I tweaked the recipe based on what I had on hand, so I'm not sure how close it is to the original.

1 lb. Weyerman Carafa

Single infusion mash at 148°F for two hours.

I used a yeast cake of WY2035 American Lager, so I guess my answer would be "no".  |

"How important is yeast selection?"
I've used WLP810 and WLP920 and a couple others and have been happy with them all. While one yeast may be "better", there is a pretty wide selection that could be used. |
