Gday all
There have been some threads circulating recently where the term "steam Lagers" has been used. New to the Lager side of brewing as I suppose most Brewers story is I started out brewing with Ale yeast and haven't delved into the secret ancient art of all things Lagering. Now I was on my local homebrew site checking for any clearence stock as the cheap arse myself is want to do. Well of course I ended up browsing the yeast selection from Mangrove Jacks dry yeasts and I Stumbled upon Mangrove Jacks M54 Californian Lager yeasts and the yeast characteristics caught my attention below is the specks on the yeast.
Question has anyone else brewed with this yeast before what was your thoughts on it how has it compared to other dry lager yeast strains and did you ferment at ale temps and produce a clean crisp lager like beer?
I love to take short cuts if I don't need to chill to lager temps to pitch if I don't need to ferment a lager temps and if I don't need to do any extended Lagering IM IN. .
