never heard of it, do u have any info?Has anyone had experience with the Skare kveik strain? Please share your thoughts!
honestly u can get kveik to ferment super clean at normal ale temps, it just takes longer to ferment than when u ferment it hot.Supposedly, it's one of the more neutral strains in terms of aroma and flavor. It's number 41 on the farmhouse yeast registry. Escarpment released a blend recently. It's also currently available in Japan at the Malt Shop.
How did it turn out?I just tried the krispy yeast from escarpment. I brewed an oktoberfest, 60%pils 40%Munich and mashed at 152 (aimed for 154 ).
Pitched at 76 based on some things I had read about kveik then realized that was probably too hot for my purposes so i reduced the heat. 3 hours after pitching a foam had started to build up and after 5 hours fermentation had definitely started. Checked back in the morning and temp was down to 72 and we were at full krausen. Maintained temp at a steady 70 for the remainder of the week but by day 3 Krause was receding. At transfer, my gravity was 5 points higher than I was aiming for and there was a distinct peach/mango kind of flavor and it was fairly cloudy. I'll check back in with final results in a few weeks.
Good to know. I guess I'll try adding some wheat next time to build it up a bit.Ive used the OG culture a bit. Its very clean and makes for a thin bodied beer
i thin alot of it has to do with the finishing PH of it being on the low side.Good to know. I guess I'll try adding some wheat next time to build it up a bit.
I read an article on how kveiks finish a few points lower in regards to pH so I adjusted my mash pH to account for that. I forget to check a finished beer though.i thin alot of it has to do with the finishing PH of it being on the low side.
