S05, and S04 are the workhorses of my brewery. I don't buy the "liquid" is better argument, and certainly not from Jamil Z. who is in the business of pimping White Labs. I agree, that when you want a specific yeast character you have to use the right yeast, i.e Belgians, Lagers, etc. But why then, if you are doing a clean American or English style ale, why are S-05 and S-04 not the right yeast?
I won gold medal in a homebrew comp with a Pale Ale fermented with S-05, I suspect it was the right yeast.
