Despite that, I find the results using S23 and WY2001 are nowhere near the sme.  And keep in mi d what I said about attenuation listings.

Which do you find to attenuate more?  Which leads you to the better "maltiness" characteristic?

Those are pretty much due to the wort, not the yeast.

On what do you base your conclusion? Do these two yeasts not produce a similar beer? S-23 & WY2001? Different worts would produce different beers, so perhaps this is not a valid comparison?
Curious as we might try the S-23 in a Czech Pils.

I have found S23 to be disgustingly fruity...so much so that I sent some to Palmer, who replied that the beer tested lime a passion fruit wine cooler.  Even a year of lagering didnt fix it.  But my comment was mainly in reference to attenuation.

I find that I can interpret Denny's typos pretty well lately.  "Tested lime" may mean "tasted like".

Don't worry, Denny.  You ain't alone!  :D  I have trouble with a laptop keyboard as well..
