Yes, my limited experience with kviek. I think maybe 4 brews. It smells badly, not good when your trying to hide your fermentor in the bedroom without the wife seeing itDone a brew with kveik 6 days ago it absolutely flew along 1050 dropped to 1008 in less than a week but it smells a bit dodgy not like my normal ipa they smell lovely but this smells bitter or sour is this normal???
Mine turned out fine had dodgy smells with all of the kveik so farGot my first kviek brew in the fermenter and I've noticed it's kicking off a bit of a smell also!
Maybe because of the high temp it ferments at or the other stuff that's in there not just the yeast??
Off smells are normally due to a lack of nutrient,Mind some yeasts do produce hydrogen sulphide during the early stages of fermentation.
As i understand it true kveik is a mixture of yeast and bacteria so is probabiliy a law unto itself.
