I really like 1098 and 1999, both are pretty similar to me. From my experience, keeping these yeasts around 68 during fermentation is the key to getting a good attenuation. The 1099 has a pretty good alcohol tolerance. I did an impy stout once that used a second gen cake that went from 1.124 down to 1.020. Pretty good stuff too. I wish I had a lifetime supply actually. I guess I will have to do it again someday. If I had my choice, I would certainly choose one or the other of these over 1056, and they can be used in a similar fashion.
