m44 YEAST?

BeerisGOD · Jan 24, 2018

Evening All,

Has anyone had good results with mangrove jack's M44 (west coast) yeast?

I did notice it took a day to get going (krausen was building gradually),

its day three and its chugging along steadily.

ive only used the young's kit yeast before which was a west coast strain, and noticed it didn't settle firm at the bottom of the bottles as much as id hoped. im hoping this brand will be different.

tell me the OG and FG if possible to give me an idea of attenuation , myn came out 1.064 so im again hoping for the 1.010-14 mark

Cheers

Used it a on few brews a couple of years ago, didn't have any issues with it.

1.056-1.007 AG American Pale Ale
1.056-1.009 AG American Wheat Beer
1.050-1.009 Extract American Pale Ale.

I prefer it to US-05, it flocculates better IMO. It was also the first yeast I had that knocked the airlock out and spewed yeast all over my brew cupboard.

Agreed Mick. It's a cracking yeast. Notoriously slow starter and it doesn't always smell great when fermenting but it cleans up great and really lets the hops shine.

Only used it once, which was my last brew when I did a build-yer-own kit from geterbrewed.
Took a day to get going, but then ploughed on solidly and was apparently finished after 5 days. Left it a full 2 weeks as usual and the beer was completely clear when I bottled it and the trub was solid.
Too early to taste it though. Only been conditioning for 2 weeks.

OG 1054
Fg 1014

I have noticed a nice inch krausen. Glad i chose it over the cml us pale. I enjoy seeing yeast working days on end, reassurring.

I've just done a gravity read on a porter I've fermented with M42 New World Strong Ale yeast and it's gone from 1064 to 1014 in 4 days with the sample tasting really good. I've always had decent results with the Mangrove Jack yeasts.
