Mangrove Jack's M29 French Saison Yeast is a highly attenuative Belgian-style strain that produces dry, crisp, and refreshing beers with a complex mix of peppery spice, subtle citrus, and earthy phenolics. It's prized for its ability to ferment at higher temperatures, unlocking bold saison character while maintaining excellent drinkability.
Technical Details:
- Flocculation: Medium (3/5), with a tendency to stay in suspension before dropping out cleanly.
- Attenuation: Very High, typically reaching 85–90% for a super dry finish.
- Alcohol Tolerance: Up to 14% ABV.
- Fermentation Temperature: Optimal range is 26–32°C (79–90°F).
- Usage: Pitch directly into wort or hydrate first for best results.
- Ideal Beer Styles: Traditional saisons, farmhouse ales, grisettes, and rustic specialty beers.
Pro Tip: Don’t fear the heat! Fermenting warm (79–90°F) actually brings out the classic spicy-fruity character that defines a great saison. In fact, high fermentation temps help M29 produce its signature blend of esters and phenols. Embrace the warmth—it’s where the flavor magic happens.
