Description
Kveik is a Norwegian word for yeast. Kveik goes way back in Norwegian history. Back then the yeast was dried and preserved then passed on to the next generation. This makes Kveik the original and traditional dried yeast which Sigmund Gjernes has maintained using traditional methods since the 1980’s and then shared it with the brewing community.
The optimal fermentation temperature is between 35-40°C (95-104°F) and has a wide range of fermentation temperatures between 25-40°C (77-104°F). When brewed with the optimal temperature you can achieve full attenuation within 2-3 days. The flavor is consistent in every fermentation temperature, neutral with notes of citrus and orange. The flocculation is high which makes the beer clear and there is no need for filtration or process aids.
