Back home and decided the 32oz grumbler shouldn’t sit till tomorrow being there was a glass full left (small turn out) so I’ll drink my HB BA Stout and watch TNF.

2 week old Marzen fermented at 82° ?? I can't even fathom thatTrying a sample of my Märzen, and wow!!One of the nicest brews I've ever made. 1.052 - 1.004 in 5 days (oops!), and I'm going to leave it for another week or so. Beer was blooping every few seconds at 6:30 this morning, hovering at 28ºC / 82F (!) still with 1" of thick krausen. Got home at 19:30 tonight, the krausen is gone, and it's only percolating every 40 seconds. Incredible yeast this Krispy! I will brew with it again, and I cannot wait to carb this one up. I'm sure it isn't going to last very long!

Was it KVIEK ? How does that empart the typical taste of a German yeast ?2 week old Marzen fermented at 82° ?? I can't even fathom that![]()

IM not knocking it! I'm actually very interested in trying it. It's just hard for an old brewing dog like me to get my head around the idea that a yeast like KVIEK could make a warm fermented beer taste like a lager! The time and kegerator space that could be saved!! Remarkable!You know what, @seanjwalker1 if one was a true German beer purist, one would probably not be able to call my brew a 'true German Märzen lager'. This is the best part of the Skare strain of kveik in the Escarpment Labs 'Krispy'. Very high flocculation, very high fermentation temps with the clean finish of a cold-style lager in a fraction of the time.
This morning, the temp of my wort was dead-on at 26ºC / 78F with the bubbler showing life every minute, no heat belt or covering. Got home tonight, it's at 24ºC / 75F with a bloop maybe every 2 mins. Trying another sample now, and it has such a beautiful malty flavour with an extra clean, crisp (Krispy) finish. Cannot wait to carb for Halloween!![]()
