Clean, Neutral Ale Yeast for Hop-Forward American Styles
Mangrove Jack’s M44 US West Coast Yeast is a top-fermenting strain engineered to deliver exceptionally clean and crisp fermentations, allowing the bold character of hops to shine. Ideal for American-style ales, this yeast produces a neutral flavor profile, making it perfect for hop-forward beers where clarity and dryness are paramount.
With high attenuation (77–85%) and high flocculation, M44 ensures a thorough fermentation process, resulting in beers with excellent clarity and a dry finish. Its robust fermentation performance makes it suitable for high-gravity worts, and it can tolerate alcohol levels up to 11% ABV. The recommended fermentation temperature range is 64–73°F (18–23°C), providing flexibility for various brewing conditions.
