KVEIK

[Bobb25]

I use Wyeast 2112 for a California Steam Ale that I really enjoy. However last year, even with additional ice packs, it became overly warm during shipping, and although it fermented OK ( I confirmed with a starter ) the final taste was "Off" quite a bit. This year I have been considering using a KVEIK yeast to avoid that problem Is there an equivalent to the 2112 that would produce a similar taste profile ?

I've only brewed with Kveik once and it wasn't this strain, but if you're looking for a Steam Beer, I think I would try the Lutra Kveik from Omega:

Isolated from our Hornindal Kveik (OYL-091) culture, Lutra is shockingly clean with unrivaled speed when pitched at 90°F (32°C). The strain is perfect for brewing a refreshing pseudo-lager without the lead time of a lager. Lutra is your worry-free way to navigate the evolving demand for cold ones.
