kveik yeast

What is Kveik Yeast?

Kveik yeast is a Norwegian strain of yeast that is just now starting to make a splash in the modern beer industry. This remarkable type of yeast can ferment UP TO 100 DEGREES without producing the often ill fated esters, phenols, and other flaws that are oh-so common in beers who's fermentation temperatures get out of hand. We recently had a presentation of Kveik beers at a recent Maltose Falcons meeting and we were blown away by how crisp and flavorful these "hot beers" were. Whats more is that with the high temperatures some of the beers were fermenting out in as little as three days! The mead makers around here have also started using Kveik for adding more character to their creations.


We are currently selling two strains of Kveik:

 

 

Voss Kveik (OYL-061)

Voss  Kveik is also a Norwegian farmhouse strain (from the Gjernes farmhouse)  which is new to US brewers. Omega Yeast was the first to have this  strain. It maintains character over a broad temperature range with  subtle orange citrus notes that match fruity hops well. Best fermented  warm! (non-phenolic)

Attributes:

  • Flocculation: Medium
  • Attenuation: 75-82%
  • Temp Range: 62-98° F (22-37° C)
  • Alcohol Tolerance: 12% ABV


 

Hornindal Kveik (OYL-091, an OYL exclusive)

A  wonderfully unique Norwegian farmstead "kveik," Hornindal presents a  tropical flavor and aroma of fresh pineapple, mango and tangerine, which  complement fruit-forward hops. Add even more dimension to "C" hops with  a high fermentation temperature, intensifying aroma and fermentation  speed. Ferments well at 90+° F. (non-phenolic).

Attributes:

  • Flocculation: High
  • Attenuation: 75-82%
  • Temp Range: 72-98° F (22-37° C)
  • Alcohol Tolerance: 16% ABV
