I know many folks think that dry yeast is not as good as liquid, but between cost, the ability to store for a couple months without as bad of an effect on viability, not needing to make a starter etc there are a lot of upsides. I know the diversity of styles isn't as good, but I've heard that the relative quality has improved a lot.
So who here uses dry yeast and likes it? What are your favorites, and how do they compare to the equivalent types of liquid? I'm especially interested in Belgian strains and ones that'll handle a higher abv.
