Which kviek?

[MadProphet]

Greetings
I'm going to brew a Deschutes Fresh Squeezed extract clone using a kviek. Wondering if Voss or ultra would be better suited.
Using kviek because I brew and ferment in my non-temperature controlled garage in the NorCal heat.
Suggestions?

I just tapped an IPA (spruce tip) with Lutra and it is good but the flavors seem muted. Have a starter of Voss and the same ingredients and am gonna see which one expresses the best flavor.

The voss is going to add some orange esters and the Lutra isn't going to add much. Either will be fine in my opinion. Do a split batch if you can so you can compare.

Of the two, Lutra or Voss, I would recommend Voss in a Fresh Squeezed clone.

Have you used either yeast before?

No, that’s why I’m asking.

Another vote for Voss for that brew.

I’ve used Hornindal in the summer heat on IPAs with good results.

I love Voss for a lot of different stuff. The Lutra to my palate seems to have a faint funky basement funk that comes out if the beer isn't bold enough or hoppy enough to hid it. The last Farmhouse ale I used it on had it and more faint the Golden ale I have on tap now kind of has it though it has almost faded away. This go around of Lutra was fermented on the low end of its range ( fermented at 68-70 ) and it took longer to finish than the beer next to it that had US-05. I had to keep the temperature down for the fermenter that had the US-05.
