The Story
Kveik yeast is widely becoming Australia's favourite yeast! Not only can it handle temperatures up to 35°C without off flavours, but it ferments extremely fast and settles out quite clear. We've had success in taking a big scoop of yeast out from our FermZillas and spreading it on a sheet of baking paper, drying it out and freezing the flakes. Throw a few flakes in the fermenter and BOOM its fermenting like crazy!
Sourced from our friend Lars Marius Garshol, this kveik strain was isolated from a mixed culture which belonged to Harald Opshaug, a farmhouse brewer in Stranda, Norway. This strain was originally used in the 1990s to produce several kornøl-style beers. It is a clean fermenting yeast and has tolerated temperatures up to 95°F (35°C) while finishing fermentation within three to four days. The hop-forward, clean characteristics of this strain make it ideal for IPAs and pale ales.
We highly recommend a Dry Ice Pack or two for your yeasts voyage OR for a short stay in our pick up lockers in the warmer months of the year.
