I have 3 packs of mangrove jacks cal common yeast on hand and was trying to see what I can work into my keezer. An IPA is about to kick and I thought it might be fun to try replacing with a similar beer but with this yeast. I believe IIRC Bissell brothers use that strain. Not planning on brewing an NE specifically, could care less about haze levels and certainly don't intend on basing the beer around appearance. However I do plan on using a fair amount of wheat in the recipe and focusing on fruitier hops- Azacca and Ekuanot (powder), hopshot bittered. I have heard that M54 has a long lag phase, are there any others concerns/comments to be aware of with the strain? Thanks.
