Description
K.1 Voss Kveik 7 g – original culture from Sigmund Gjernes
Voss Kveik from Kveik Yeastery is a multi-strain kveik sourced from Sigmund Gjernes in Voss, Norway. It gives a flavour profile with fresh notes of orange, mandarin and citrus. During fermentation it also develops hints of tropical fruit and a mild spicy character. The kveik suits farmhouse ales, IPA, pale ale and sour, and brings a Norwegian brewing tradition straight into your fermenter.
Fast fermentation over a wide temperature range
Voss kveik thrives from 15 to 40 °C, but performs best at 31–35 °C. At that range fermentation can be complete in around 72 hours. This makes it well suited if you want a short fermentation time, or if you have no cooling but can keep things warm.
