Anyone have experience Mangrove Jack lager yeasts?
Posted: Fri May 24, 2019 10:24 am
I was looking into using the M76 (Bavarian Lager) or M84 (Bohemian Lager) for an upcoming lager, do folks have any experience with either of these dry yeasts? I normally use W34/70 for dry yeast but Everwood is out at the moment.
Mangrove Jack reports at a minimum of 5 bill cells/gram, so minimum of 50 bill cells/pack for viability. Based on cell count alone for my lager, a 1.045 OG Helles, I would need up to 6 packs without a starter. MJ suggests 2 packs, re-hydrated is enough for lagers https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0195/ ... 1183846214
I've read and experienced (w/ M44) long lag times, so for a lager I could imagine it would be even longer starting at lower temps.
Any help/opinions would be greatly appreciated!
