For those considering their first brew...let's talk about kveik yeast!

I only found out about Kveik at the very end of summer. temps were still +30'c so I ordered a packet but then a few days before my brew day a cold front came in and dropped the temp to ~20'c, so I guess I'm gonna save it until next summer...

I brew a dozen of batch different styles (and Stout) beers with Voss Kveik yeast, primarily this summer because I not have fermentation temperature control, and the beers are good. But they all have that citrus flavor that really only matches APA / IPA styles.

I’ve never used it, but I couldn’t help but notice Kviek made a huge and grand entrance just as NEIPA was becoming one of the most popular styles everywhere. All of a sudden every brewing forum and all the brewing mags are doing daily sermons about Kviek. So I had rightfully assumed it was associated with the murk.

Personally, I gag at the sight of NEIPA. It looks like the sludge I dump out of the bottom of my fermenter after I rack off the beer - and I can’t understand why anybody thinks this looks appetizing and wants to fight over it to buy it.

I guess thats why I’ve not been in any rush to run out and buy Kviek yeast.

The disproportionate online presence of kveik mania was obviously engineered by something like a 'talented' PR firm. I find it fascinating how it was whipped up into a kind of mass hysteria that failed to actually deliver. It's sh*t! That kind of PR is normally reserved for corporations selling toxic products, too It's not even like non-GMO yeast are patentable. Whoever invested in that kveik campaign was a fool.
