What was your volume in the fermenter for the 5g of yeast? I've heard with the real Kveik yeast it's best to under-pitch as compared to typical strains. My brew was at 1.014 when I took a reading at day 3. I was expecting it to be done but there was still a bit of airlock activity, so I just...

The beer has been kegged for a few days now and I tried the first sample last night. I fermented at 37 ºC and it appears this warm temperature may have driven off a lot of the hop aroma. To counter this I have dry-hopped the keg. Next time I use this yeast, I wouldn't bother with large amounts...

Any feedback on this yeast yet? I'm going to be using it for my brew tomorrow. My first time using Kveik. I'm planning to ferment at around 35 - 40 ºC for a quick turnaround. It's the housemates birthday next Sunday so I'm aiming for a 7 day grain-to-glass, by far the fastest I will have ever...

Congrats to the winners! If there are any ITC-1000 12V still available I will happily take one.

The IBT-2X or the ITC-1000 12V would be great. Thank you!

A hoppy stout is no bad thing, I'm sure it'll turn out grand. I'm 9 brews down on the Grainfather now. For the first 3 brews I was blindly following recipes but massively overshooting the target OG. I now work on a 90% mash efficiency and scale back the grain bill accordingly, i'm pretty...

Great post! You may have inspired my next brew, Jet Black Heart is delicious! I've only tried one stout on the Grainfather before, this recipe: http://www.brewstore.co.uk/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/midnight-stout.pdf The brew went well but it only attenuated down to 1.022 (Expected FG...

I've done a few brews with my Grainfather now and each time I have experienced efficiency of 85 - 90%. At first I was massively overshooting my targets. I now scale down recipes that are generally based on a 75% efficiency in order to hit the target OG without diluting the wort. To get the...
