Mangrove Jack’s M20 Bavarian Wheat Yeast – 10 g
Brand: Mangrove Jack’s
Why Brewers Love It
M20 Bavarian Wheat is a traditional German wheat beer yeast selected for producing the hallmark banana and clove notes found in classic Bavarian styles. With low flocculation and balanced attenuation, it leaves beers hazy, aromatic, and full of authentic wheat character.
Flavor and Profile
Strong isoamyl acetate (banana) esters with gentle phenolic spice (clove, nutmeg). Creates a smooth, slightly tart finish with natural haze, ideal for refreshing wheat ales.
