I'm fermenting 11 gallons of Jeff's batch at my house at the high 60's-low 70's. One half with wyeast 2565 & half with cry havoc. We will be able to sample the same batch with the different yeasts at the same time.

My thoughts:  Yes, WLP029 clears much faster, and on its own.  However, I believe 2565 gives the superior flavor.  WLP029 is okay, but maybe not as tasty as the finicky 2565.

I have gone back and forth over the years.  Depends on what you think is more important.

I dunno, I may actually be partial to 029

I really enjoy the WY 2565 strain.  It is a consistent fermenter and has a beautiful white wine aroma that really comes across nicely keeping the beer crisp and refreshing.  It also works well in a cream ale fermented between 60-62F.
