Omega Yeast | OYL-061 Voss Kveik | Beer Yeast | Double Pitch | 225 Billion Cells

    Description

    • OYL-061 is a Norwegian kveik strain that presents orange-citrus notes throughout its wide temperature range
    • Pairs well with citrusy, fruity hops. Non-phenolic and no noticeable fusels, even at higher temperatures
    • Double pitch size with a minimum of 225 billion cells—twice the size of the standard yeast pitch
    • Proprietary propagation methods generate fresh, metabolically strong yeast cells and optimal biomass
    • Omega Yeast is founded on curiosity and innovation, expertly producing common workhorse varieties and many unique strains

    Discover the magic of yeast that has been passed down from generation to generation with Voss Kveik. Another Omega yeast strain with an absurdly wide fermentation range, this traditional Norwegian kveik can be traced back directly to the Gjernes farmstead. Similar to Hothead's mango-honey profile, Voss Kveik's orange and citrus notes come through clean across the recommended temperature range. Pair with citrusy, fruity hops for a match made in Valhalla!

    Kveik refers to traditional Norwegian farmhouse brewing yeast that has been passed down from one generation to the next, literally being harvested and repitched for centuries. Over this long period of time, kveik developed certain characteristics that distinguish it from modern brewer's yeast. In general, kveik has a very high heat tolerance and will produce a consistent flavor profile across the fermentation temperature range. It's also a fast fermenter, highly flocculent, and has an above average alcohol tolerance..

    Attenuation: 75-82%
    Flocculation: Medium
    Alcohol Tolerance: 12% ABV
    Optimum Fermentation Temp: 68-98°F
    Cell Count: 225 Billion
     

    Please Note: For best results we Always recommend ordering an Ice Pack with your liquid yeast. Ice Packs can be found below in the "You might Also Need" section.

    Please Note: When choosing an ice pack option beware that the liquid yeast will not arrive cold even when shipped together. Ice packs and insulated mailing options are designed to keep the yeast colder for longer during shipment, but they will not ensure that your yeast arrives cold. We will not replace liquid yeast that arrives warm. During warmer months we strongly recommend you choose dry yeast.

        Great! Buy it again and recommend!

        Great yeast for beers without controlled temp! Fermented @ 25C took 7 days to fully attenuate from 1063->1014. Low ester production. Worked amazingly on an APA with Cryo Citra.

        New Yeast New Expectations.

        Got this yeast because it seems to be the yeast everyone is talking about. Used it on a traditional IPA recipe and was disappointed. Fermented quick and hot (85F) as advertised but threw of pithy esters and a chalky mouth feel. Still needs a good while to condition so any time saved in fermentation has been eaten up in the extra cold crash/conditioning stage - after which it tastes... Fine. Probably best used for hazies (with a chloride heavy water profile) or in farmhouse ales. Don't expect this to replace your more traditional yeast variants in your tried and true recipes. It has its place but it will take you a while to figure out where that place is for you.

        I was unsure how it would work for me as I e had off flavors in production beers that used Kveik yeast but I am impressed. It was active quickly and the taste is awesome!

        Started fermenting faster than any other yeast

        I did a small yeast starter for 24 hours using 2 packs of the Voss Kveik yeast and within 5 hours of pitching the yeast it was fermenting like crazy. It basically finished in about 2 days @ 90F. Amazing yeast and I will be washing the yeast and keeping it for my next batch.

        Omega Yeast - Voss Kveik

        This family of Kveik yeast is my new "go to yeast" due to is temperature and ABV tolerance. Along with the bonus of a great flavor profile that works well with most beer styles. This yeast will clear up quicker than most when cold aged for a few weeks.

        Look forward to brewing when I’m usually shut down by temperature. I live in warm climes for five of twelve months. Now I can brew far longer into the Spring and Summer with the use of this yeast.

        Speeds things up!

        It's true you can be drinking beer in less than a week from brew day with this yeast. Amazing to run it at 95-100F and get no off flavors. I have found that the beer does improve with a little aging two or three weeks to develop the flavors of the malt and hops. Hazy IPA fans this is a great yeast for you!

        Made and Incredible NEIPA

        After a year and a half trying out different yeast for HAZY IPAs (NEIPAs) I finally got around to trying out the Voss Kveik. All I can say is that I'm totally blown away. I did a super simple recipe. 5 GallonAll Pilsner Malt,flaked oats and flaked wheat. Zero bittering hops during boil. Used 6 oz of hops in a 45 min whirlpool under 160 degrees. Pitched the Voss yeast at 80 degrees and then cooled it down to 74 degrees for the entire duration of fermentation. Day four I added 4 ounces of hops while fermentation was still pretty active. Day 8 I added 4 more ounces of hops after yeast had done it's job. Crashed it to 45 degrees on day 11 and kegged it on day 12. To my surprise I got a beautiful brilliant yellow color with that amazing haze I've been after for so long. By far the best perma-haze I've ever achieved. My final pint looked just as hazy as the first. Doing another batch now to see if I can repeat it.. Try this yeast, you won't be dissapointed. It is a BEAST...
