First time with Kveik

[Brewed_Force]

Decided to try the CML kveik yeast for the first time, in a brown ale. Inkbird set to 28C.
Not had any airlock activity after 2 days, but there is a distinct 'fermentation' aroma in the room.
A krausen is forming so I'm not alarmed, not sure how long before I should take a gravity reading.

I like your thinking. 28c. I tried it at l lower temperature and it wasn't for me, but I think on reflection that was my bad for running it too cool.

Keep us posted.

I use it on a regular basis and ferment a little higher. Its all over in 2/3 days but I still treat it to a few more days. Ideal for fruity hoppy beers as it can throw a fruity flavour from the yeast itself which will compliment IPa's and Pales

Stop it now. Your are almost making me want to try it again.

Seems to have finished fermenting, will bottle it tomorrow (only 1 week in total). If it's half decent it could be the way forward for my future bitters & dark ales.

Excellent news. Keep us posted.

I did a bit of work last month, to get ready for a hot summer, what with the night air pump and the fridge powered chiller coil. Both appear not to be needed so far this year
