I only used 029 thrice - once in an Altbier that turned out quite well (despite some people advising against it), then for a Kölsch that turned out great (it was my first), and again in a hoppy session ale that is still fermenting. I know a great brewery that uses the Wyeast Kölsch strain successfully in a number of applications, but I really just brewed this 5 gal session ale for the sake of having a big pitch for 10 gallons of Altbier I will be brewing soon (which may be followed up by 10 gallons of mock-lager Schwarzbier or Munich Dunkel). I got a very lagery effect from 029 - so much so that I my Kölsch (brewed on the hoppy end of the style) strongly resembled a German Pilsner
