I bought a 2 gram sample of kveik yeast last year and watched this video on how to dry it. Using this method I've managed to harvest and dry enough yeast to continue brewing for the rest of my life for a 2 gram sample. LOL I love this stuff. Makes brewing in my 100f Florida garage that much easier.

CS Mead and More My understanding is that it has to do with the resiliency of kveik. Admittedly i’ve never tried it with other yeasts because I’ve always heard that you don’t get much viable yeast on the other end. Suppose it would be worth an experiment!

I would love to try some of your yeast blend! My first brew with it would probably be a very simple mead with a mild honey (probably a local summer wildflower honey I've had my eye on) and really push the temperature to see which kinds of esters it produces. That'd give me a great baseline to determine which other flavours would go really well with this yeast. Hoping it goes well with christmassy flavours, because I would also love to try it on my buckwheat honey, ginger and cinnamon metheglin.

To be able to store it indefinitely, I think so. But as I mentioned, just storing the washed yeast is usually fine as well. I mailed a few of these internationally once and since it lays flat in an envelope I only had to pay for a stamp. So there is an added benefit there I suppose. I have a drawer in my fridge dedicated to yeasts and by far I prefer storing them as liquid in 10ml vials.

I have Lalbrew Voss Dried Kveik yeast on the way and I was wondering if i can do this with it to get more bang for my buck on the package of Voss since ale yeasts of any kind seem a bit pricey these days. 5.24 for one package Voss Kveik yeast may not seem like that much but when you consider i can get 5 packs of wine yeast locally for the same price(they are 0.99 each) that is a chunk of the yeast budget that if i can stretch it out as far as possible will be less of a sting to the wallet.

Here in Hornindal in Norway the measuring device for how much kveik to use is just by hand and eyesight. For 5 gallons I would say just some flakes of kveik in the palm of your hand. The harvest from one 5 gallon brew I would say can be enough for at least 5 more brews. And then you harvest from each of those. I only brew traditional farmhouse beer using juniper water for meshing. At the start of my brewing day I pour two cans of non alcoholic beer in a pan and heat to 30 C and pour in a glass jar and add kveik and let it sit on my bathroom floor on a towel or something, so it's not directly in contact with the warm floor, to get the yeast going until I'm finished meshing and ready to start the fermentation. By the way, you don't need a dryer. Spread the harvested kveik on a piece of baking paper on a baking tray on your bathroom floor or elsewhere and after a couple of days it will be completely dry and you can just freeze it.

My question is could you do this with any other yeast? Also I would probably make a boring traditional just to see what kind of esters and phenols would get before making anything interesting

As I understand it, it is uncommon for other yeast strains to survive the drying process in a home environment. I’m not quite sure how it’s different from what they’re doing commercially, so your mileage may vary. I have had good success getting kveik rehydrated and active from these flakes.

QUESTION: Do we really need to dry it? Cant we just take the slurry from the bottom,maybe keep it in a bottle for a couple of days if we arent brewing again the same day, and then just pitch it straight into the brew brew?
@madsleonardholvik3040
@madsleonardholvik3040 Жыл бұрын
Yes, no need to dry it. But for those who brew only now and then, like me, I find it's easiest and most convenient to just spread the kveik on a baking sheet and dry it on a baking tray on the bathroom floor. After a couple of days it's completely dry and I just put it in the freezer. By the way, traditionally kveik wasn't washed. I'm not saying there aren't reasons for doing it, though.

It's not wrong. Traditionally kveik hasn't been washed. At least if you mostly make the same kind of beers, there is no need to.

Honestly if I had Kveik, I would probably make an Occulto beer clone; a light bodied, 6-7 abv beer style, flaked corn and pilsner malts, agave syrup, then back sweeten with more agave syrup and oak chips that soaked in tequila for 1 week. Keg, carbonate, bottle with a beer gun into grolsch bottles.

@@DointheMost imagine having control over the batch, because when it was actively in production it was SICKLY sweet. Imagine hints of agave sweetness with a woodsy note from oak and the slight bite from tequila instead of being tackled by all of them, linebacker-style that was Oculto. I think it has the potential to be an amazing well balanced brew if done right. If you were tasked with fixing up Oculto into something awesome, what would you do?

For pitching here is a tip: In the morning I warm a can of non alcoholic beer to 30 C and pour it in a clean glass and add kveik and allow it to get going. Then when I'm done meshing and ready to start fermentation, I pour it into the fermentation vessel into the wort.
