Cellar Science Voss Kveik Dry Yeast is a traditional farmhouse yeast originating from Voss, Norway, designed for fast and efficient fermentations, especially at higher temperatures. This Kveik strain is popular among brewers for its ability to produce a clean, crisp flavor profile with distinctive hints of orange peel and citrus, making it a great choice for a variety of beer styles, including IPAs and pale ales.
Key Characteristics:
- Fermentation Temperature: Performs optimally between 68-104°F (20-40°C), allowing for extremely rapid fermentation times, often completing within 2-3 days.
- Flocculation: Medium to high, ensuring good clarity in the finished beer without the need for additional filtration.
- Attenuation: High, leading to a well-attenuated and balanced beer.
- Alcohol Tolerance: Can handle up to 12% ABV, making it versatile for both regular and stronger brews.
Practical Application: Voss Kveik yeast can be pitched directly into the wort, which simplifies the brewing process by eliminating the need for initial oxygenation.
This yeast is highly valued for its ability to ferment cleanly at warmer temperatures without producing off-flavors, making it an excellent choice for homebrewers looking to produce flavorful and aromatic beers quickly.
