Mauribrew yeast?

[Alemaker]

I stumbled across so posts here about Mauribrew Ale yeast that supposedly ferments cleanly up to 86F. If it can actually do this, and if it produces a good flavor profile, my fermentation capabilities would be GREATLY expanded.

Does anyone have much experience with this yeast, and where can I buy it? It seems not very easy to find.

I have never used that strain, but take a look here. A quick google search turned that up.

Yeah, I read that. It looks like it's geared towards commercial brewers as it only comes in 500g packs. I saw a couple of posts from some home brewers that used it, but didn't find anything about their results.

Sorry I couldn't come up with more, but I don't use dry yeast all that often. Hopefully someone with real results will post them for you.

Coopers Original Series yeast is Mauri yeast. Coopers claims it's a proprietary strain made just for them. But the specs for Mauri's commercial yeast sounds a lot like Coopers.

it is? Not to doubt you, but do you know this to be a fact, or is that just based on similarities of the specs? They do sound very similar.

It came from Paul Burge, one of Coopers Brewers(?). A lot of people on the Coopers forum are always asking about the yeast and that's what Paul had to say. I want to say Morgan's actually does use the commercial Mauri yeast with their kits.

Thanks! That's very helpful!

I bought a brick of it. It is a very lazy yeast. I made a blond ale and it got down to 1.012. My APA's only got down to 1.016 and 1.018 respectively. I guess if you mash at 150F it is okay, but when I mashed at 154F, it just stopped after 3 days. However, it is a good, clean yeast. You can buy bricks and sachets of it here in Canada anywhere, not sure in the US. BTW, I fermented at 67F.

I know a lot of our members in the MoB in Ottawa use it, but I doubt they ferment that high.

 

[Conehead]

67F is high?

The final gravity not the temp.

Try here. He sells Mauribrew yeast in singles and 500gm packages. He also carries Fermentis and Nottingham yeasts.

Thanks. Interesting supply of filtration products he has, too.

I know this is an old thread, but while beerandwinefilter.com might not have the best website, the owner is very helpful. Give the guy a call and he'll get you set up.

I just came across this yeast for $35/500g and I am really interested in if anyone has used it as I would love to make some agood ales with extremely low cost yeast. This would mainly be for small 1 gallon experiment ales so if anyone has used this stuff for all grain please chime in.

I have just done a couple of extract brews with it. All I can say is "fast fermentation!"

both times it took off after about 4/5 hours and reached estimated FG in less than 48hrs.

final product hasn't been sampled yet.

I have used it on quite a few occasions. There realy is something to be said for it. They even market a lager strain which will tlerate very hight temperatures.
I have fermented with the ale yeast at up to 28c with no problems.

 

[RoughandReadyRanch]

for the price I guess it is a what do I have to lose type scenario.

Wanted to bump this.
Making a starter as i was planning on 5 gallons, but doing 10 and only had one pack.
The starter smells like straight up pears... it's awesome!
Doing a pale ale with wakatu, motueka and centennial... so this is gonna be super fruity.
