Massive fan of WHC Labs being an Irish resident, currently drinking Suprem Being Imperial Pale from the homebrew company brewed with their LAX west coast yeast 7.6% and quite delicious, first used WHC for my introduction to Kveik with their Ubbe ans Bjorn strains and as I've no way of cooling made a reasonable Helles brewed at 34°c get great clarity as well considering the drop from 34° to room temp works a bit like a cold crash. Great vlog guys yet again can't wait for the next

Big fanboy of the WHC yeasts too having used Saturated, Einstein, Lax, High Voltage with Apres Ski to go this weekend. If you are about to use High Voltage for the first time please be aware of two things ... it goes off like a rocket even by Kveik style standards and I would use half a packet personally after nearly blowing the airlock off a 27 litre batch and mopping up foam for 24 hours (there was at least 10 inches of headspace and it was fermented on the lower side) and it also drops out just as quickly. I had carbonation issues bottling on day 5 (kept within yeast range and measured priming sugar to style) even after 4 weeks: so you might want to add an additional pinch or some CBC-1 during this stage. Even on the lower end, fermentation was done in 36 hours for a 7% and very tasty ale, despite the carbonation learning curve.

@DoorstepBrewing Ай бұрын

I fermented my West Coast with this at 38c, finished in 3 days. Slow crash cool, dropped out some yeast and then dry hopped. Too a bit to clear but great beer.

@Moronicsmurf Ай бұрын

So have been doing similar beers like this for last couple of months now.. Lagers brewed on Kveik yeast, that is hopped as IPA's on a malt bill that is more like a Chzech pilsner.. With fairly good results as well.. Got recipes floating around in brewfather if interested.

@@TheCraftBeerChannel Most of the time its very clear. I have had a couple not get clear in the 7 day time frame. They are all great right away but definitely get better with a little age. Hop flavor is very strong right away but seems to fall off after about 6 weeks if it lasts that long.

Good stuff guys, always fun to watch the show. Listen, you boys should try out cannabis terpenes in a beer. So it smells and taste like some good weed. The brewery Hocus pocus in Brazil nailed it when they released, fantastic beer. There aren’t any thc or cbd in it, just the flavour and smell.

@GlobalNomadPete Ай бұрын

I believe that lager yeast beers are easier to drink over higher temperature tolerance yeasts. I maybe wrong but the temperature of the stomach may not kill off the yeast, add in other fermentable food products and bring on the bloating.

@twiliteturtle495 Ай бұрын

@@GlobalNomadPete most normal brewer's yeast will still ferment in the mid to high thirties. The temperature doesn't kill it, just make it thrown gnarly esters and phenols that you don't want in your beer. Much more likely to get killed by the lake of pH 1.5 gastric acid than the temperature.

@shanej2429 Ай бұрын

Two questions: 1. How is this much different to pseudo lagers with Kveik? 2. If this yeast is designed to help brewers that don't have temperature, does it still handle temperature fluctuations well? It seemed everything that was talked about still had an element of temperature control required.

@WHC_Lab_Paul 26 күн бұрын

This single strain isolate is not a blend - so we've really been able to hone in on the charecteristics we want. It is super duper clean. The yeast has a very wide temperature range 22-35 degrees. so even if you have no temperature control you can be confident this yeast will remain clean as a whistle!

looking at the stats for the yeast, is it a kveik under a different name?

@TheCraftBeerChannel Ай бұрын

It's not - Kveik is a genetically distinct variety while this is very much in the standard ale yeast family. At these temps kveik would kick out lots of esters.

@@TheCraftBeerChannel There is also Krispy by Escarpment Labs here in Canada. It is a 'lab-evolved' version of Kveik. We've used it a few times and it's kinda lager-like. ish. :)

@alistairreece5832 Ай бұрын

@@JohnSproull That's an interesting yeast from the looks of it. Tinkering with a kveik like Voss, which is very clean at standard ale temps, would certainly make sense to expedite lageresque brewing. Almost makes me wonder if in a few years we'll have people trotting out the old "malts are more highly modified now so we don't need decoction" trope, but more akin to "thermotolerant yeasts are cleaner now, so we don't need extending lagering at cold temperatures"?!

Actually Kveik Lutra gets rave reviews for use with pseudo lagers. Personally I brewed a lager with a Kviek Voss strain, and had some sulphur issues, but nothing a little keg off gassing didn't fix, turns out I fermented too cold! Second time around, a couple degrees higher, perfect! Get into pressure fermentation and you've got extra insurance against ester production.
