Kveik are Norwegian farmhouse yeast that have become quite popular with pro and homebrewers for their very unique flavor profiles and fermentation performance including shockingly quick turnaround and high temperature tolerance. In this video, Omega Yeast Labs cofounder Lance Shaner introduces his yeast lab's varied portfolio of kveik strains and blends to help you decide which kveik might be perfect for your specific beer style or brewing setup. #kveik #fermentation #homebrew

You know it. We had a few hours with Lance at our Milwaukee store, learned a lot, and shot a lot of video for here on KZfaq as well as a new Northern Brewer University online course on yeast. Very eye-opening day.

I so want to get back into brewing after the first of the year. I think this type of yeast could make me a little more successful in producing good beer.

Great to hear. Let us know if we can help in any way. I have brewed with Lutra a good bit and can attest that it makes some dang clean beer out of just about any style.

Excellent stuff, all around! Have experiments been done with kveik and cysers, meads, and ciders? Totally curious to try these for this purpose...

I can't speak from much personal experience (I've only used kveik once for mead, a fresh hopped mead fermented with Kveiking from Imperial Yeast which is carbonating as we speak), but I do know some meadmakers here in Minnesota that have used kveiks for meads and cysers (not so much ciders) with successful results of fermentation performance and flavor. In general, kveiks have a high alcohol tolerence and keep things very clean while providing a bit of ester unless it's one like Omega's Lutra that is suuuuuper clean.

Kveik strains are quite versatile........there must be many other type of undiscovered strains out there.......cheers....

There certainly are and there are a few presentations out there about indigenous yeasts from almost every part of the world. Such a fascinating new realm of understanding.

What are the sensible temp ranges for the Lutra strain? We brew at about 62 F this time of year and we don't use temp controls. Thanks in Advance

With such a wide temperature range and high ABV tolerance, is there a guideline to fermenting high abv beers compared to session brews? If one was going to push the abv limits, is it best to ferment these strains at a lower or higher temperature?

@NorthernBrewerTV Жыл бұрын

Higher end of the temp range will likely help ferment higher alcohol beers more completely, but depending on strain could lead to more impactful flavors. I have found that Lutra, even at room temp, is quite a beast and I think it would chew through just about any wort you put in its way. It's not to say you could do it at more medium temperatures, esp if you mash accordingly for the performance you are hoping for.
