Since a brief hiatus from brewing due to young kids and lack of time I'm getting back in the game. My new 10 gallon Anvil Foundry arrived last week and I'm stoked to use it and hope it saves me some time with my brew days. In my time off the Kviek yeast phenomenon took the states by storm. As a brewer in Florida who in the past changes out ice bottles to control ferm temps Kviek yeast seems like a potential game changer for my brewing. Meaning not freaking as much about temp control. So with that a couple of questions:
1. Is there a chart or reference guide that suggests which Kviek strains to use for certain beer styles? A guide for dummies suggesting which Kviek to use based on what style I want to make would be helpful.
2. If I were to pitch Kviek in the house any problems with temps ranging from 74-80F? Is that too cool for most strains?
3. If I pitched a Kviek strain outside during summer in Florida any problems setting and forgetting it understanding temp ranges may change 10+ degrees from REALLY REALLY hot during the day (90-98F in the shade) to comfortable breezy evenings (80-85F)?
Thanks.
