Why did the rabbit like NEIPA's so much?
My goal is always to make the best beer possible and not rush things. I tend to be skeptical of brewers who say they went grain to glass in a 7 (or less) days, etc. The shortest time I've ever gone (grain to bottle) is 2 weeks, with one week to ferment and one week to clear. Even that was too rushed - the beer would have been better if I let it sit another week or two before bottling.
With that said, I am wondering if Lutra kveik is truly different? I recall in Lars Marius Garshol's book that kveik really is different and doesn't need a lot of time to ferment and finish. It ferments fast and does not need extra time to finish up to avoid off flavors, if I recall from the book.
Is this true? I pitched Lutra on Monday and it seemed to be about done in two days. SG is stable on Day 3 and 4. Maybe I could coax another point out of it, but I think the beer is done. I fermented at 80 and kicked it up to 85 yesterday and then 90 today, to make sure it really is finished.
Should I give it another 10 days, like most of my beers? Or am I safe bottling it up this weekend (Sunday)?
