90 minute brewday - Raw beer - Kveik Hornindal

[MashBag]

Nowhere near. Almost no existent.

Added 30g to a saucepan of wort for 30 mins.

And its taking an age to ferment.
In better news, the skimmings made excellent bread.

Keep us posted on the bitterness front!
Bread is a great idea.

What's the latest MB?!

So the bread is fantastic.
Will share recipe if anyone wants.

Raw cascade is now bottled and conditioning. Took a long time to finish.
It is very very very very very very average.
Its not unpleasant, its got an almost orange squash taste, with a hint of horlicks. It will be best drunk in my large stone stein 'cos.... this will have a head like Marge Simpson and the clarity of porridge.

Bitterness. Go in hard. Double normal ammount. Hop tea isn't like boiling them in the wort.

I had a gap in the pattern. I had to have a go, but probably not again. By heck it does leave a groopy sticky mess.

Popped on routine cascade today.... Don't need to be running dry

Nice to try new things. I'm enjoying a glass of mine this second. Will defs do this again with a NEIPA. Bought this Kveik blend: OUTER HEBRIDES FARMHOUSE YEAST: SIADAR AN RUBHA | eBay

I don't know that I will do it again yet Tbh.

I think bottle conditioning will improve it. Only tried it warm so far (as tastings).
Cooler and carbonated, hot summer evenings. Yeah.

I saw promise in this.
Summer drink tick.
Base for a low alcohol recipe - Bob on.
Fruity ladies beer, you bet. I know a brewery making a mango number specially designed and marketed for ladies.

There is something here definitely to develop, I just don't want too. Very pleased I tried it.

But not keen to kveik if I am honest.

Was your ferment slow?

 

[floydmeddler]

It did nothing for a few days as I (wrongly) simply sprinkled in the yeast flakes. I then gave it a rouse and it took off almost immediately and was fermeted out in 48 hrs.

 

[MashBag]

I sprinkled (as normal) it got going, but lifted a really thick krausen and then seemed to take too long to finish.
