Description
Oatwave Pale Ale – limited edition all-grain beer kit with Ebbegarden Kveik
Oatwave is a juicy pale ale, developed as a limited edition all-grain kit for homebrewers who want a pale ale with a little more body and a softer mouthfeel than is usual for the style. The beer is fermented with K.9 Ebbegarden Kveik from Norwegian Kveik Yeastery, and fermentation takes only 3 days at 35 °C.
The malt base is pale ale malt, complemented by oat malt and caramel pils (carapils). The oat malt gives a softer, rounder mouthfeel, while caramel pils adds body and head retention without making the beer heavy. The hop profile is built around Simcoe and Mosaic, two classic American aroma hops that together give notes of citrus, tropical fruit and a light hint of pine. The result is an easy-drinking, aromatic beer where malt and hops work well together.

How to brew Oatwave
An all-grain beer kit is for brewers who brew from scratch with a brewing system or kettle: you mash, sparge and boil yourself, following the brewing instructions included in the kit.
Tip: Because of the amount of oats, we recommend adding rice hulls to the mash for better lautering and to avoid a stuck mash. The kveik ferments at 35 °C, so you need a heat source, for example a heat mat with a temperature controller.
To protect quality and shelf life, we store the malt uncrushed. You can choose to have us crush the malt when you order. If you do not already have a grain mill, we recommend getting one so that you have freshly crushed malt on brew day.
Frequently asked questions about the Oatwave Pale Ale all-grain beer kit
Is the beer really fully fermented in 3 days?
The kit is designed for 3 days of fermentation at 35 °C with Ebbegarden Kveik. Still, check with a hydrometer: fermentation is complete when the reading stays the same two to three days in a row.
Why are rice hulls recommended?
Oats make the mash denser. Rice hulls improve lautering and prevent a stuck mash.
What characterises Ebbegarden Kveik?
Ebbegarden is a Norwegian kveik from Kveik Yeastery that gives tropical fruit and tolerates high fermentation temperatures.
Is the malt crushed?
The malt is stored uncrushed, because crushed malt starts losing flavour and aroma. You can choose crushed malt when ordering, or crush it yourself just before brewing.
What else do I need to buy?
Priming sugar, finings and any yeast nutrient are not included. If you have no heating equipment, you will also need a heat source to hold 35 °C.
