M44 Yeast and probable infection

[Vermelho]

So I did a split batch brew with two different yeast of Mangrove Jacks M44 and WLP051. During fermentation I noticed a raw red meat smell coming from the beers but wasn't sure which one. It turns out it was the M44. I tested the beer and it fermented fine but now has an aroma of red meat and tastes like a hefeweiss. Anyone ever come across anything like this before?

The WLP051 is fine and I bottled it this weekend.

I can confirm the red meat smell...also it tastes like a Weiss beer yet contains no wheat at all.

You might have a new creation a weiss  beer with no wheat . What does the spec sheet for this yeast say about it.

Had a quick read of the pdf form for this yeast and it says nothing about raw meat however this might explain
Underpitching can cause lag time and issues with off flavours

Meat smells suggest autolysis.

Yeah, I don;t think raw meat is a common yeast aroma. I think it's f**ked.

I'll bring you a bit of melange yeast cake next week and we'll sour it 😉

I gave up using m44. Had a couple of mucky beers from it
