Agreed. I've made some beaut beers with their Hornindal.
Unfortunately I've loads in stock.
Such an underrated yeast imo. Some of my best beers have been made with kveik. Open to all types (except maybe Belgian), fast and reliable.
Voss isn't a good lager yeast. For fast lagers with kveik skare is good. Or lutra, but that is owned by omega labs
I did a fake lager pitched at 35c and just let it free fall turned out good
Dr Hann on yt has a vid on lutra and lager

Was it Voss or Lutra? Thanks.
Lutra
You'll get citrus fermenting that high, unless it's under pressure.

Thank you. It seems that the advice is Voss is a bad idea. It'll be under pressure but I'm going to get some Lutra, harvest and store/reuse.

I've never had much luck with Voss. I just didn't like the flavour very much. Opshaug, on the other hand, is quite different. Think I'll use it again since we're on the middle of a heatwave.
This is the first time I've even heard of Lutra!

I use opshaug under pressure, around 30 degrees and let the pressure rise to about 30 psi towards end of ferment. Then let temperature naturally fall. After about 5 days cold crash, dropping the yeast out of the collection bottle when it fills. I try and balance pressure to temp as the beer cools for the target vols usually about 2.5.
I like my Voss, it's a very versatile yeast. If you ferment low (under 30celcius) you get clean beer. If you ferment high you get citrus y goodness. I ferment under pressure, about 22psi, and it's great. I'm also in love with my Horningdal. I've made a bunch of beers with it, mostly pale ale or low ibu beers. Soo good.

I've just ordered my first Kveik Hornindial yeast and have created a 4.2% Neipa test recipe in Brewfather using Mandarina,Citra & Amarillo hops and looking at your photos I can't wait to get it brewed!

I’ve used the dried Hornindial from CML a couple of times now and it made some pretty good beer was fairly neutral flavour wise though this may be due to me fermenting below 30°C I certainly found with Voss you didn’t get any Citrus notes until I hit the mid thirties.

how do you find the CML Pliney?

I screwed up a bit somewhere so my efficiency was below what it should be so ended up with a 6.1% beer, so probably pretty far off what the actual original is like that said it was still a pretty decent hoppy pale ale.
Great choice with the Mandarina bavaria! It works very well with horningdal. I would go easy on the citra if you are fermenting high due to the yeast also giving some citrus. Also quick tip. If you plan to dryhop be sure to set to normal temps first. I find that if you dryhop in beer at 33celcius, the hops don't like it very much. 20c is a much better dryhop temp
