Trying a Kveik

alsch890 · Mar 25, 2024

I got a packet of Lallemand Voss kveik yeast and I have no idea what to do with it, nor if I can even push up my fermentation temp that high....

But if I do I was planning something like this:

20l boil / 16l batch

Pilsner 3.25kg approx 70%
Oats 500g 10%
Wheat 500g 10%
Flaked barley 250% 5%
carapils 250g 5%

Ariana 25g @15min 26ibu
Mandarina 25g@5min 10 ibu
Ariana 25g @switch off
Mandarina 25g @switch off

Ariana 50g dry hop
Mandarina 50g dry hop
Lallemand Voss (Kveik)

Any comments or suggestions? Maybe push the 15min addition to 5mins too?

Kveik can be pitched high say upto 35c but you do not need tp keep it at that temp it's entirely upto yourself.
I usually pitch high and let it slowly freefall in temp it will be done in a day or two generally at the higher temps or you can keep it at a constant high temp if you think it suits you better.
At the higher temps it will throw orangey tropical flavours so ideal at the higher temp if you are doing a IPA etc or lower temps for less orange.
I would pick your brews to suit the flavours it gives so would be ok for something like bitters/ales with a little orange taste at lower temps.
It is totally flexible but like all yeasts it can give esters the only way is to try it.
Ps it does not need to clean up as much as most other style of yeasts so a quicker turnaround is possible
