I just brewed a Voss Kveik ipa and after 49 hours it’s cold crashing. The ferment temperature was 100F. So the curiosity in me is wondering what if I bottle conditioned this brew at 100f for a week? It would be primed with table sugar and I’m toying with the idea of doing this in a temp controlled ferment chamber. Thinking I could do the old duct tape/paper towel barrier trick on one of the bottles the set the inkbird for 100F. In theory this should work for a faster grain to glass with bottling right?
 
I would not let the beer carbonate at 100F for a week. I've used multiple Kveik strains in the past years and all were carbonated using sugar, in bottles. Any beer I did this way, and not only with Kveik yeast, had proper carbonation after 4-5 days in the bottle, at room temperature - 20C/68F. 1 week at 100F might damage the beer. Even if bottling, you shouldn't experience problems with Kveik. If everything is done right, you should have carbonated beer in 4-6 days.
 
I never had proper carbonation after 4-6 days unless I shook the bottles twice a day and kept the bottles really warm, close to a heater.

I had kveiks that were really slow when carbonating, because so much yeast dropped out of suspension... But I don't know which strains those were anymore.

Keeping kveik at 37c should speed up the process and the yeast can take it, so why not?

Yes the beer is carbonated but it's cider-y so it takes a good 3-4 weeks at normal temps. What I'm thinking is using the priming sugar calculator

and adjusting that to 100F. According to the priming sugar calculator this would use more sugar than at normal temps. I should mention this is just an idea. I'm not brave enough to try it though lol More or less wanting to get input to see if anyone has done this.
