Where M84 and M76 require strict 8–14°C fermentation, M24 produces good lager character from 10°C up to 20°C.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBest Suited To\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePilsner, Munich Helles, Märzen\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAmerican Lager, Cream Ale, Blonde Ale\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAny style where clean, crisp lager character is the goal with modest cooling\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecs\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFermentation temp:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10–20°C (wider range than traditional lager yeasts)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAttenuation:\u003c\/strong\u003e High\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFlocculation:\u003c\/strong\u003e High\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePitching rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1–2 sachets per 23L (pitch 2 sachets below 14°C)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhen to Choose M24\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChoose M24 over M84 or M76 when your temperature control reaches 14–18°C but not the 8–12°C required for traditional cold-fermented lager. M24 is more forgiving across a wider temperature range.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChoose M54 over M24 when you have no cooling and must ferment at normal ale temperatures (17–23°C). M54 is specifically designed for warm-fermentation lager. M24 produces its best results with at least some cooling.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePractical Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePitch rate matters more at lower temperatures. Below 14°C, use two sachets per 23L — lager yeast activity slows with temperature and the higher pitch rate compensates.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA diacetyl rest is recommended after primary fermentation: raise to 18°C for 48 hours before cold crashing. This prevents butterscotch character in the finished beer.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDo not ferment M24 above 20°C expecting lager character — use M54 instead above that range.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKeep refrigerated. Once opened, reseal and use within 7 days.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReviewed by the AHB Brewing Team — June 2026.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lallemand Danstar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42014430298189,"sku":"25000","price":9.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/8306\/0045\/files\/25000.webp?v=1786924351","url":"https:\/\/www.australianhomebrewing.com.au\/products\/lallemand-belgian-saison-ale-yeast-11gr","provider":"Australian Home Brewing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
