Mangrove Jack M05 Mead Dry Yeast

Mangrove Jack's M05 Mead Yeast (dry) is a versatile and high-performing strain suitable for a wide range of mead styles. With a fermentation temperature range of 59-86°F (15-30°C), this yeast can thrive in a variety of conditions, making it a reliable choice for mead makers.

The M05 strain is known for its high alcohol tolerance, allowing it to produce meads with a medium alcohol content. Its high apparent attenuation range ensures a thorough and efficient fermentation, resulting in a clean and well-attenuated final product.

In terms of flocculation, this yeast exhibits high characteristics, meaning it will readily settle out of suspension during the conditioning phase, simplifying the racking and clarification process for the mead maker.

When it comes to pitching and fermentation, the M05 yeast should be sprinkled directly onto the must, up to 23 L (6 US Gal) in volume. For best results, the fermentation should be carried out at the recommended temperature range of 59-86°F (15-30°C).

For storage, it is recommended to keep the yeast in the fridge, ensuring its longevity and preserving its excellent performance characteristics.

One of the notable features of the M05 strain is its ability to produce fresh, floral esters, especially when fermented at the cooler end of the temperature range. This can contribute to the overall aroma and flavor profile of the mead, making it a versatile choice for a variety of mead styles.
