I find this forum to be VERY informative so, thanks for all the help....lots of posts about all different kinds of yeast...what is the concensus on Dry Yeast?

It really does depend. Using Saf-05 instead of WLP001 or WY1056 makes sense since they're are essentially the same thing. Like mentioned before, 04 is also a good option. But when you want specific belgian and german strains there really is no dry equivalent. Base your decision off the beer you're making.
Are you sure about that?
Belgian beers: use S-33 or T-58
German: use 34/70
Actually ever lager I've made was with 34/70... it's awesome. It makes a really tasty Oktoberfest but still works for an American Pils
I have found that having access to S33, T58, WB06, Danstar Munich, Brewferm Blanche and probably more than I haven't run across is enough for me for fruity beers. Not saying that liquid yeast isn't better, it's just not better enough for me personally to expend the effort in using it. Not trying to get into a debate though, I am not anti-liquid, just giving my reasoning behind the matter.
Cheers!
