Mangrove Jack says: Top fermenting Bavarian wheat beer yeast imparts banana and clove esters balanced with spiced aromas. This yeast produces a silky mouth feel and rich body. Rebel Brewer says: A classic top-fermenting yeast suited for brewing a range of German Weizens as well as Belgian Witbier. It has a very low flocculation rate and a clean, “yeasty” aroma which makes it ideal for beers that are traditionally served cloudy. This yeast creates beer with a low to completely dry level of sweetness, medium body with a silky mouth feel, and a delicious banana and spice aroma. Mangrove Jack’s Bavarian Wheat Yeast M20 is very similar to Wyeast 3638. Fermentation Observations: Fermentation starts within 24-36 hours and builds a dense krausen that does not rise as high in the fermenter as with most other Weizen yeast strains. This is a slow and low flocculating strain, although it eventually it will settle out and leave moderately clear beer. Quick to condition, beers fermented with this strain can be ready to drink in as little as 10 days. Recommended fermentation temperature is between 59-75°F however this strain can handle up to 86°F if excessive ester production is desired. Aroma Characteristics: Lots of classic banana and clove esters, balanced with clove and cinnamon-like phenolic aromas; these aromas tend to overwhelm any malt or hops character in the beer. Only intense chocolate or roast malt aromas in dark ales will overcome. Flavor/Mouthfeel Characteristics: While this strain has only a moderate tendency to attenuate, the final beer will not be sweet. Instead, it will have a creamy, silky mouth feel and full, rich, but medium – not heavy - body. Most caramel and complex malt flavors are stripped away by this strain. Deep roast and chocolate flavors will show through. Slight acidity produced greatly enhances wheat malt characteristics. Higher Alcohol Beers: In higher alcohol beers, the phenolic character presented by this strain becomes a bit smoky and esters burst forth. Low attenuati0n rate may result in a sweet beer. <_MOD_>2014-04-09 Belgian Ale Malteshop Mangrove Jack's M27 0 1 1 0.8000000 1.0000000 0.0000000 5.0000000 0 0 2011-02-27 2011-02-27 200.0000000 76.0000000 80.0000000 79.0000000 90.0000000 0 0 0 5 2003-06-14 Suited for brewing all Belgian ales, including Quadruples of up to 14% abv.

Rebel Brewer says: With a myriad of flavors and aromas embraced by master brewers all over Belgium this strain has been specially developed to bring the best of these flavors to the home brewer or craft brewer. Belgian ale yeast is an exceptional top fermenting yeast strain creating distinctive beers with spicy, fruity and peppery notes. Ideal for fermentation of Belgian Saison or farmhouse style beers, but also suitable for other Belgian styles. This yeast is highly attenuative and has a high ethanol tolerance that makes it ideal for creating most Belgian beer styles, including Quadrupel styles of up to 14% ABV. At higher alcohol levels fermentation may take longer but the strain is robust enough to deal with almost anything. This strain successfully brings the sophistication of classic Belgian ale production to the home brewery. Fermentation Observations: This Belgian Ale Yeast strain is a long slow fermenter especially at very high gravities producing a moderately light krausen that never threatens to overflow the fermenter. A fairly long lag phase is typical and can extend to a full 24 hours after pitching, primary fermentation will build in intensity and temperature after this period while never threatening to get out of hand, wort of 14.050 can be at 1.010 in 7 days but this strain will ferment down to between 1.002 and 1.005 so care must be taken at bottling. This strain has an extremely high alcohol tolerance up to 14% ABV although this can take as long as a month to finish. Warmer fermentation temperatures of 79-90°F are recommended when brewing with this strain to avoid sluggish or stalled fermentations and to produce more expressive beers. Aroma Characteristics: Belgian yeast strain brings all the sophistication and complexity of classic Belgian ale production to the home brew and small brewery setting. Spicy and peppery characteristics are prominent with an undertone of the ubiquitous fruity Belgian character. Flavor/Mouthfeel Characteristics: This is a highly characterful yeast strain that will dominate all but the highest hopping rates and complex malt bills. Beers fermented with this yeast will tend to be dry in the finish often with a slight drying acidity and peppery notes that aids drinkability at higher alcohol levels. Higher alcohol beers may have and increased ester production and warming alcohol notes. Higher Alcohol Beers: This yeast strain will perform exceptionally well up to 14% ABV making it suitable for a large range of Belgian beer styles, including Quadrupel style beers. <_MOD_>2014-04-09 Bohemian Lager Malteshop Mangrove Jack's M84 1 1 2 0.8000000 1.0000000 0.0000000 5.0000000 0 0 2011-02-27 2011-02-27 200.0000000 74.0000000 79.0000000 50.0000000 59.0000000 0 0 0 5 2003-06-14 Suitable for German/ Bohemian Pilsners, all lager styles, German Bocks and more.

Bohemian Lager Yeast is characterized b y its dry and clean palate, typical of traditional Czech brewing. This strain confers smooth, subtle yeast characteristics with muted fruit notes, resulting in refreshingly crisp lagers with expressive hop character. While rich and chewy, the beers fermented with this strain will not be sweet, but may have an elusive sweet malt flavor in the aftertaste. Lagering periods as short as 4 weeks may produce acceptable beer, but allowing beer to lager 6-8 weeks will result in beer that is richer, smoother, with a more refined aroma and flavor. Mangrove Jack’s Bohemian Lager Yeast M84 is very similar to Wyeast 2124 Bohemian Lager or WLP830 German Lager. Fermentation Observations: Starts quite quickly for a lager strain, building a thick krausen by 24 hours. Reaches final gravity in 2 weeks except for strong worts, which will require longer secondary fermentation. Lagering period with this strain can be fairly short, as little as 4 weeks with good results. Aroma Characteristics: Classic Bohemian Pilsner strain aroma and flavor characteristics can be expected. Flavor/Mouthfeel Characteristics: Earthy spiciness of both noble hops and Pilsner malt will be enhanced and supported by moderate to full body. In wort from simple grist bills, delicate malt flavors will survive. Beer fermented with this strain is generally rich and chewy without being heavy at all. Light and delicately balanced beers call for this strain. Higher Alcohol Beers: This strain will preform reasonably well in higher alcohol beer production, but only to 9% alcohol. Beer of over 7% alcohol will be slightly sweet, and the alcohol may be a bit hot. <_MOD_>2014-04-09 British Ale Malteshop Mangrove Jack's M07 0 1 3 0.8000000 1.0000000 0.0000000 5.0000000 0 0 2011-02-27 2011-02-27 200.0000000 74.0000000 77.0000000 57.0000000 72.0000000 0 0 0 5 2003-06-14 Suitable for India Pale Ale, Porter, Stouts, Barley Wine and more.

Rebel Brewer says: A neutral top-fermenting strain especially suited for brewing silky smooth light ales with a neutral yeast aroma and flavor contribution. This strain also works well for stronger ales where a soft and balanced mouth feel is desired and where the nutty, spicy and earthy hop and malt characteristics should be enhanced. This yeast strain is highly flocculent and not prone to autolysis, making it an excellent choice for both cask and bottle conditioned beer. Mangrove Jack’s British Ale Yeast M07 is very similar to White Labs WLP007. Fermentation Observations: Generally fast starting activity may be seen between 12-24 hours and krausen will be voluminous. Temperature range for fermentation is broad and can perform well at cool temperatures. This strain will ferment reliably down to 54°F and is an outstanding choice as a neutral strain for delicate, light malty ales, as well as malt-balanced medium to strong ales. This strain of English origin has a low tendency to produce esters unless fermented above 74°F after which ester like aromas can become pronounced. Aroma Characteristics: Hops and malt aromas are enhanced and will tend toward earthy, nutty, orange peel, and mild spice. Esters will be nearly absent in normal strength beers fermented cool (at or below 68°F). Flavor/Mouthfeel Characteristics: Beers fermented with this strain will finish dry, but very light beers will not be thin or watery. Acidity will be low, and mouth feel will be light and soft on the palate with smooth, not astringent texture. Highly flocculent and resilient, and not prone to autolysis, this is an excellent strain for cask or bottle conditioning. Higher Alcohol Beers: Ester formation will be slightly elevated in higher alcohol beers, but the character of esters will be pleasant with ripe apple and pear dominating, along with faint banana. Beer will be dry, but a perception of malt sweetness will survive in the aftertaste along with malt character and complexity. Alcohol should be warming, but not hot. <_MOD_>2014-04-09 Burton Union Malteshop Mangrove Jack's M79 0 1 2 0.8000000 1.0000000 0.0000000 5.0000000 0 0 2011-02-27 2011-02-27 200.0000000 74.0000000 77.0000000 64.0000000 74.0000000 0 0 0 5 2003-06-14 Suitable for English Ales, Ordinary Bitter, Extra Special Bitter, Golden Ale and more Mangrove Jack says: A top fermenting ale yeast suitable for a wide variety of hoppy and distinctive English style beers.

Burton Union Yeast is a gently but rapid fermenter that generates light and delicate ripe pear esters and does not strip away light malt character or body. Moderate acidity balances the silky smooth texture of beers fermented with this strain. When hops or malt aromas are stronger, the yeast contribution will be neutral. When used in lighter quality malt bases, the hops and esters are able to shine. Beers made with this yeast are quick to condition, giving you a great beer in as little as 3 weeks. Mangrove Jack’s Burton Union Yeast M79 is very similar to Wyeast 1275 Thames Valley or White Labs WLP023. Fermentation Observations: Very fast start, 12-24 hours to high krausen, and this strain forms a massive, thick and dense raft in primary fermentation – often over-running the top of the fermenter if not given plenty of head space. Achieves final gravity in a week or less unless wort is of very high gravity. Produces very mild sulfur which fades. Aroma Characteristics: Some pear esters, possibly strawberry or kiwi-like aromas can be expected, clean, delicate malt and hop aromas will survive fermentation. If hops and/or malt aromas are big in the beer, this strain’s fermentation aroma characteristics will fade to the background. Flavor/Mouthfeel Characteristics: Clean, mostly neutral, and smooth. Finishes beers moderately dry, but does not strip away body. Silky, lightly smooth texture, light to medium body, mild acidity, and mostly neutral flavor and aroma contributions form this yeast strain makes it a good all-rounder for a wide range of ales.
