Key Features of M66 Hophead Ale Yeast:

1. Hop Aroma Enhancement:
• M66 is known for its ability to enhance hop aromas and flavors. It interacts with hop compounds during fermentation, emphasizing fruity, citrusy, or floral notes depending on the hops used.
2. Fermentation Profile:
• It typically produces a clean fermentation profile with low levels of esters and phenols, allowing the hops to take center stage.
• It attenuates well, ensuring a crisp finish that complements hop bitterness.
3. Alcohol Tolerance:
• 10 % ABV.
4. Versatility:
• While it is optimized for hop-forward beers, M66 can also be used in other styles that benefit from a clean yeast profile and enhanced hop character.
5. Flocculation and Clarity:
• It typically exhibits medium flocculation, meaning it settles out moderately well after fermentation, helping produce a clear beer with proper conditioning.
