Description
This product has been superseded and can now be purchased in the larger pack size at 2X the pitching rate, WLP4045 Sigmund's Voss Kveik - Pure Pitch Next Generation (KL34661).
Traditionally used in the production of Norwegian Farmhouse Ale, this strain is a fast fermenter with good attenuation, a light earthy spiciness, marked tartness and unique ester profile of orange peel. This strain is prone to forming incredibly large flocs unlike any other yeast we've seen before, yet still remains highly attenuative. Sigmund's Voss Kveik also exhibits the ability to ferment wort over a large temperature range, 21.1-37.7ÂșC (70 - 100ÂșF), without major changes to the flavour profile or production of any harsh phenolics or fusel alchohols.
This yeast will exhibit a slightly more restrained ester profile and ferment a little slower at cooler fermentation temperatures, and quickly produce a drier beer with a slightly more pronounced ester profile at warmer fermentation temperatures. We highly recommend taking this into the high end of temperature range, 32.2-37.7ÂșC (90-100ÂșF.)
*KegLand Team Favourite!
A good dry alternative would be the LalBrew - Voss Kveik Yeast
We highly recommend a Dry Ice Pack or two for your yeasts voyage OR for a short stay in our pick up lockers in the warmer months of the year.
Please choose Australia Post Express if you want to reduce the the risk of transit time delay and its affect on your yeast.
Attenuation | 78% - 83% |
Flocculation | High |
Optimum Temperature | 21.1°C - 37.7°C!!! |
Directions:
Use 1 vial per 19L of beer.
Select a strain/blend best suited for your fermentation.Â
Store this vial in refrigerator, and remove 3-6 hours priot to use.Â
Shake vial well to re-suspend, open cap carefully, add to 19L of aerated/oxygenated wort at 21C. Keep at this temperature until fermentation begins, and then change to desired fermentation temperature.Â
One vial will usually start fermentation in 5-15 hours.
Wild yeast ,bacteria and blends may take longer.
The keys to a quick start to fermentation are good aeration / oxygenation and temperature of ~21C at all times until fermentation begins.
If the O.G. is over 1.070
If the yeast is past its 'best before' date
or if a faster start to fermentation is desired, a starter culture can be made.
Starters are not recommended with blends as the proportions of different organisms can be altered.
Best before date is 4 months after bottling.
To ensure a healthy fermentation it is a good idea to incorporate some yeast nutrient in your brewing. You can purchase some here.
The benefits of using yeast nutrient are described in the pdf and video below:
