    Kveik, the original, traditional dry beer yeast! Kveik is a Norwegian word meaning yeast.

        Eats through anything and everything, 2-3 day fermentations are easy! Takes longer to carbonate ...

        Kveik is awesome especially at the higher 95F temps. THIS IS NOT SA05 YEAST, be prepared. Depending on the hops, citrusy and fruity flavors are present. If brewing a 5-6 gallon batch and the OG is 1.070 or higher, make sure you double the yeast nutrient as this stuff chews through everything and fast! I highly recommend using a yeast starter if there's any doubt about the liveliness of your yeast packet.

        An absolute beast of a yeast.....

        This yeast is an absolute animal. Picture is an IPA with an OG of 1.061. 24 hours after pitch it is at 1.019 (at 85 degrees). With an expected FG of 1.013, it should be through fermenting in a couple more hours. Of course it will still needs some time prior to bottling, but I can see this being a great way to bump up the quantity in the pipeline....

        Speed beer!

        1 week in primary, 4 days in the bottle = a very drinkable Porter. Previously I did not brew in the Summer because my basement is too warm, but no excuses now! Kept it at about 82 deg. F during primary with the help of a heating pad.

        Kveik is just plain awesome for so many reasons.Even though I have very goos temperature control, I still use kveik strains. Love co-fermenting with other strains to drastically reduce conditioning time.

        An excellent dry flavor profile, top-fermenting yeast

        Soak in advance and you will have a nice slurry.

        I like this yeast

        I've only brewed two beers with it so far, a raw beer and a boiled wort beer, and both have turned out well. This yeast brings its own 'barnyard funk' to the table, a flavor more pronounced in the raw beer and more subtle in the other one. It's reminiscent of wet hay, unusual though not unpleasant, if you're into that sort of thing. Also a super fast fermentation, allowing me to bottle at day 5 or 6. Recommended!

        Great fast fermenting yeast

        You just can't beat this yeast for a really quick and flavorful NEIPA. Completely fermented out my OG 1.086 beer in 36 hours. The Great thing is you can ferment at higher temperatures. I've gone all the way up to 100°, but for my last batch I fermented at 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Beautiful results, no off flavors. I would recommend this to anyone who likes IPAs or NEIPAs.

        I don't like kveik

        I ordered this because of all of the rants that various home brew forums had on kveik and the great IPAs people were brewing with it. I have since learned that I don't like kveik and if you do you're wrong (this is obviously i joke - at least I hope it is obvious).That being said, the yeast really worked great.

        Wow, I should have made the change sooner. This is great. Super fast activation.

        This stuff is amazing. Terminal after 3 days. Beer ready in 5 days. I used in a starter.

        Miracle yeast!

        Miracle yeast! Now my go to summer yeast. Have repitched 1 packet 4 times with no ill effects. Clean and fast between 75-84 F. Blonde ale, pale ale, Scottish ale, smoked stout, smoked amber...all came out wonderful with this yeast.Pitched all at 75F. Complete fermentation in less than 48 hrs. Mostly within 24 hrs.

        Yeast Monster

        This stuff will chew up your wort in no time at high temps. Give it a healthy amount of yeast nutrient, aerate your wort, and crank up the heat. Leaves a nice subtle spiced orange/orange fruit leather ester profile. Great with citrus hops. This yeast shines in the summer if/when you don't have temperature control.

        Easy!

        No fermentation temp control required and this yeast worked fast! Attenuated a NEIPA in just 3 days, finished and drinkable after 5 days post brew day!

        The Real Deal

        This yeast is as good as they say. I pitched 1 packet directly into a 5 gallon batch with an OG of 1.094 at 94 degrees. Within a few hours it was off and running, forming a thick Krausen. This thing is a workhorse.

        New yeast

        Thought I would try this yeast as I have read good things about it. Usually use Nottingham or US-05 for ales.

        The best there can be for areas with tropical climates.works perfectly at room temperature of 32-36°c.

        Good yeast

        Used a packed for 7 gal of OG 1.09 traditional mead and took off right away. ran @95F and completed in 6 days. Does floc really hard so needs a daily stir to stay up and active.

        Good, fast with nice esters.

        Has a great fruity character when used at higher temps, but it's not overpowering. Fast clean fermentation even pitched dry into high gravity worts.

        Killer yeast with great power and attenuation.

        Fermented exactly as described. I literally saw action in the airlock within 15 minutes of pitching into 90 degree wort. I split the 10 gallon batch as an Amber ale and a Pale ale dry hopped with 3 ounces of Moutere. Both beers came out fantastic. Great attenuation and both beers were kegged in 5 days.

        Kveik..... Solid Yeast

        Good Stuff.... I use it in my Mead Hydromels. Love the flavor profiles it produces.

        Great stuff

        2 packets in a 12 gallon batch, no starter or prehydrating and I had a vigorous fermentation in 2 hours.

        KABOOM!

        Direct pitch in homage to Interstellar Automaton originally brewed by Modern Times and collab with Automatic Brewing of SD. Direct pitch to wort at 94F. Started to ferment in JUST 2 HOURS, done in 3 days, OG 1.070, FG 1.014. Truly everything it is advertised to be. Amazing will use again!

        Fast, phenomenal yeast

        As a homebrewer particularly interested in recipe development at the moment, I'm looking for a yeast that's fast, fairly clean, and tough to mess up. This yeast is 11/10 on all of those fronts - it drops out like a rock in about 2-3 days, ferments in 48 hours at 95?, is quite clean while contributing subtle esters (hard to place, but vaguely orange-peel), and just seems unshakably committed to fermenting with little help. No oxygenation need, per the instructions, and you just need a heat pad and a few days. I just brewed a very solid Berliner "Vosse" in 7 days, kettle souring included (see Lallemand's SourPitch).Bottom line, buy this immediately and give it a shot in, really, any style you can think of

        What a great yeast. Fast fermentation with a great floral taste. Works good at low temp ferment...

        I was a little worried that I just messed up a batch of beer that cost 50 dollars to make, lol. I made my Imperial Stout and tried the Voss/ Keivik Yeast. I had done no research on this yeast and bought two 11 gram packs. I miss understood the pitching rate on the package . I interpreted it saying o.5 to 1.0 packs per gallon, lol. I pitched 22 grams on 5 gallons and once I realized the amount to use it was too ate. Beer Gods saved me, it fermented in 3 days and turned out a little dryer than I wanted. I checked the gravity it was FG-1.012. And the OG was 1.112. It has a nice floral aroma in the front but over pitching gave it a alcohol finish, but not bad at all. I chilled it down to 40°f and drank it. It was great , hardly any alcohol finish. I will not over pitch next time. My fermentation temp was about 70°f - 72°f. I will use this yeast again.

        Good Yeast

        I've used this yeast for 3 different brews now, and it's currently cranking away at a 4th (sour this time). I keep it as high as my Grainfather conical will heat, which is usually around 93-94 degrees in my basement with ambient temp of 68. Every beer has finished fast and tasted great! Definitely recommend.

        Orange Zest

        Split wort of Red IPA into two ferm vessels, pitched Kveik in one stored at 82°F and second using WLP-001 at 63°F. Kveik was done in 3 days, dry hopped and in the keg by day 7. Once 001 finished and carbed conducted semi-blind triangle test. Was able to pick Kveik sample every time due to not unpleasant (but not subtle) Orange zest flavor. While I liked the Kveik, I found the yeast flavors dominated the hops and preferred the 001 for a Red IPA. Will explore use in a Blond or at lower temps.
