I thought the same thing and I won't base any opinions on this until I taste the beer. I suppose that once I taste the beer I'll be able to determine what other styles it will work in. Cheers.Rehydrated yeast wont smell like much, if you're used to smelling a starter or smack pack, I remember the 189 having a clean yet didstinctly lagery charachter.

2124 sticks out and shouts at you. This yeast is not as characterful. I'd call it neutral in flavor. Probably best for malty styles or American pils where you don't want yeast character interfering with malt. I'll probably designate S-189 for my clean malty beers and use 34/70/2124 for German pils, MJ84 for my CZ beers.

ZOMG, my thread broke Denny's brain! Sorry Denny, just trying to get some info on a yeast I've never used.Ken, I'm gonna give you my best advice...calm down!

This is helpful. I agree on the 2124 (one of my favorites). How do you see S-189 working in something darker like a Vienna, Mexican Vienna (Negra Modelo-type beer), etc?Ken, my light beer is great with it b/c it has some malt sweetness. My hoppy German pils is not as good as with 34/70 or 2124 and seems a bit rougher in hop caharacter. My CZ Tmave is still lagering and only carbed for a couple days but shows promise.

Yes, as I was typing that reply I was thinking it would go well in my house lager--a mexican helles. I don't like MJ84 in it cuz it's a bit estery and W34 sticks out a little much in it.
