Going to try M84 in my next batch of Shady Bohemian, just wondering what to expect for attenuation? I've always used either M54 or Mauribrew 497 before, but with the glycol system, I've got a lot more options for temperature.

What was your attenuation running? There's a pretty big discrepancy between the BF recipe builder(78%) and Taylor's Yeastmaster(72%)...

I use MJ Bavarian and Bohemian a lot. I do tend to do starter cultures though as sometimes the yeast can be a bit... vintage ;-)
That said, I get ~80% ... ish. I think about 1.055 is about the highest I've started with and it's finished well every time.

yeah don't remember exactly but 78% was probably closer to what I got
72% would be the low end of the stated range
of course you realize what we get and you get may vary
more involved than just the yeast choice as you know
I'll figure it at around 78 then. Shouldn't need to make any adjustments to the grain bill, I guess the last list says that the M54 I've been using is just a blend of M84 and BRY-97 anyway. Probably won't be an earth shattering change one way or the other.
Please let us know what you end up with. The 72% I have on my sheet is an average of multiple data points from the interwebs from like 7 years ago. And the interwebs being what they are..... yeah who knows.

Will do, going to use it for my next 2 brews so should be able to get a pretty good idea.
