WLP4XXX - Framgarden Kveik
A single strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, it was isolated from source material collected from Petter Øvrebust. It exhibits a vibrant bouquet of hull melon and cantaloupe esters across a broad temperature range. This strain is well suited to any hop forward or farmhouse-inspired beers.
| Attenuation | 78% - 83% |
| Flocculation | High |
| Optimum Temperature | 26.6°C - 35°C!!! |
Directions:
Use 1 vial per 19L of beer.
Select a strain/blend best suited for your fermentation.
Store this vial in refrigerator, and remove 3-6 hours prior to use.
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.
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.
