Mangrove Jack’s M76 Bavarian Lager Yeast – 10g Sachet

Clean, Malty Lagers with Classic Bavarian Fermentation Character

Mangrove Jack’s M76 Bavarian Lager Yeast is a bottom-fermenting strain that delivers clean, crisp, and malty lagers with just the right touch of traditional Bavarian character. Known for its smooth fermentation profile and medium flocculation, M76 provides excellent clarity and balance, while minimizing sulfur production and off-flavors common in some lager strains.

This yeast is highly versatile—suitable for a wide range of lager styles including Helles, Dunkel, Vienna Lager, and Märzen. It performs best at traditional lagering temperatures but can also produce quality results in slightly warmer ranges for brewers without temperature control. Expect a delicate malt backbone, restrained esters, and a dry, clean finish.

Brewing Applications
