Here in Hornindal most people just dry it on a paper like that on the bath room floor. It's great you use kveik for making beer!

[@jcinsaniac]

The magnets were pure genius. Can't wait to see how the re-hydration comes out. CHEERS!

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Thanks for watching, cheers!

[@DragonsinGenesisPodcast]

The great thing about Kveik is that most strains work well when under pitched. So if you don’t use as much as normal, it still ferments great.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

If you like the taste, I'm quite sensitive to it and cant drink them unless they are drenched in hops or other flavours. Cheers!

[@Stillpoint23]

I like the magnet idea. Definitely going to use it!

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Cheers and thanks for watching!

[@TinyPirate]

Worth it for the magnets tip. Game changer!

[@beau-2222]

Would love to give it a go. Thanks for the opportunity.

[@martijnblokzijl1350]

Nice one Gash! Drinking an 3 weeks old barley wine homebrew with the original Hornindal (multistrain, not the commercial one) right now. Raisins, caramel, big malty flavour, earthy, little fruity. Love it! Drying the yeast was a disaster. I should have washed mine with an FG of 1.029; sugary caramel paste. I uses aluminiumfoil (had no baking paper laying around). You did a way better job!

[@Dystopian63]

magnets are genius brotha.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Cheers mate!

[@chrisnewman861]

I'm keen up in Cairns Gash. Great to watch as usual. Chris.

[@petery2878]

Crikey on the GOOD Table and all.. hope you has brownie points up..!

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

shhhhhh.. she knows nothing :)

[@glutenfreebrewing]

Been using Voss Kviek aka Loki from Imperial yeast for almost a year now. I recon just did my 6th gen on that strain. Have loved its quick hot "fairly clean" fermentation. I've not dried it yet but have been treating it like I would most liquid except for last run finding you dont need that larger yeast pitch like other beer yeast it performed better. Put me in the draw for sure been hearing great things about this strain. Cheers for the content gash love your stuff man!

[@davidthreechinsbrewing6193]

I'm keen to give it as shot Gash, cheers

[@mothox]

Cheers mate, great vid. I’ll definitely do this. I’ve gotta get on the Kveik train. 🍻

[@WreckedBrewery]

Nice how-to video on this process. I've not seen one this detailed before. Thank you! You can put me on the list if you are able to mail to the states. Cheers!

[@trenta9]

Super interesting to be able to just dry a yeast like this. Melb

[@s6philly]

RIght on! Keen as to give to this a try down here in Tassie. Cheers!

[@zachb861]

Would love to try it out Gash. In Brisbane. Love your work!

[@ausfoodgarden]

I've obviously been away from the forums for far too long. Never even heard of this process before. I do the glycerine freezing process from yeast starters whenever I have an unusual strain. I guess I have to give this a go now. And if you're chucking your Fermentasaurus I'd give you a few bucks for it. I don't care about the yeast collector etc. Oh and pick me, pick me!

[@rycambo7306]

Great video mate Myself and a couple buddy’s here in SA would love a crack with it!

[@vance7354]

I have made a home scale very small Bioreactor for growing up yeast cultures of Kveik Yeast for drying and freezing yeast slurry , Its a 1 quart to 1/2 gallon reactor depending on which jar i use. Basically its a ball airlock lid( the kind for fermenting vegetables with a built in airlock) that i drilled a second hole in and put a stainless steel air stone that is hooked to an air pump and it sits on a Stir plate, so, if my understanding of the process is correct this would be a Very Basic Bioreactor. My issue is the feeding schedule for optimum yeast growth and how much sugar and nutrient i should be feeding it daily. I have Fermax yeast Nutrient and I am doing my Grow up with white Table sugar because its a cheap easy sugar source. I am building up a personal yeast bank of Kveik yeast strains for use in Home wine,beer and mead making. So My goal is the highest biomass I can achieve with the limits of my home made set up. My reactor it self is working so far I am just not sure on a rough estimate of how much sugar and nutrient to feed it daily. I dont have a super accurate Gram scale(yet) so I am using measuring spoons and cups at this point At the present time, I am doing roughly 1/2 teaspoon of yeast nutrient and about 1/4 cup of sugar daily in a 1 quart volume of water I was wondering how these amounts look and if i should change them, if so how much of each would you suggest. The yeast nutrient I have is a General purpose nutrient designed for home wine,beer and mead making. My sugar source is currently white table sugar due to price and ease of access. Any suggestions you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

[@sncard777]

I think I’ll buy it 😁

[@thermalflyer3601]

Thanks for this. I am deffo going to try this!

[@petesalehouse2401]

Would love to try it, Wodonga.

[@Fredo3333]

Awesome!

[@michaelrankin3305]

Look I am underside on drying the yeast. I always use wet yeast as it develops quicker in a batch and has less prone cause not to develop. Hey but that gust me, each to their own. I have always cultured, or use Wyeast and or White Labs. I remember in the naughty 90's White Lab releasing a three strain kit which had 3 test tubes and the desired starter. I had a martini glass with alcohol flaming to sterilise a needle to get a strain from a test tube and grow it in a starter. I knocked over the martini glass, the alcohol flame went over the whole kitchen bench. At this moment I was pissed, because I was renting. Then the alcohol flame exhausted and WAL-Al, no damage. Got all the bond back, mines cleaning.I would give your yeast a go, if I can send a sample to you of the end product. Chin Chin, Mike

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

I understand totally, this yeast is treated very differently, this is kind traditional, the would use pieces of wood with holes in it, hand it up to dry and then put it in the next batch. Cheers! www.garshol.priv.no/blog/393.html www.milkthefunk.com/wiki/Kveik

[@DamoLawrie]

Nice vid gash. Been thinking about getting some of this stuff and giving it a try

[@pauly774]

Awesome vid Mate. Love to try it.

[@mattsawdy6579]

Nice one Gash, you can put my name in the hat. Cheers

[@loganwright3423]

Hey it's been a year now. How did it go? Did you try to use it?

[@andy1982222]

Keg King need to come to the party

[@housepark]

Nice one Gash 🤘. Cheers mate 🍻

[@craigallan77]

I’d like to get the kveik train, just up the road in Melbourne mate. Cheers Gav👍🏻🤘🏼

[@peyotiirecordings]

Hey mate, KALGOORLIE represent keen as to give it a go.

[@kennygraley824]

I’d like to try it lol but I’m in the US! Great vlog Cheers

[@walruss60]

Wow, I had my doubts but I should have known it'd be ok. Thanks for sharing. Could you use a dehydrator ?

[@andy1982222]

Would love to try it gash

[@victorbitter583]

Nice one Gash. Don't pick me as I'm not brewing ATM and wouldn;t make a starter anyway. I might hit you up some in about 12 months though lol. cheers.

[@RedmanOutdoors366]

Very Cool 😎👍💯🍺

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@johnheath86]

Hey, I’ve tried the Voss and love it, keen to try the hornindal if you’re game to send to New Zealand. Cheers

[@johntadlock693]

The paper towels are to wick away moisture from underneath. Logger John.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

I sort of thought that, but it wouldn't done much in my situation I don't think. Cheers mate!

[@Charsty]

Count me in Gash! Melbourne

[@finnroohomebrewing]

That was easy to follow and I think I might like to have a go at doing it myself. I take it any yeast will dry out like that? Cheers

[@kacerhomebeerbrewing]

Gees... that's interesting mate :-O!! I'm wonder how it will turn up. Good trick if anything be ok. Cheers bro!!!

[@shanerobinett2857]

Put me in the comp please Gash would love to give it a go. Cheers.

[@bababendot]

Was it not necessary to sanitize the parchment paper?

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

No it was clean direct from packet, the yeast was open to the air for 24 hours or more anyway, crazy isnt it. Cheers mate!

[@bababendot]

The Home Brew Network makes sense! Thanks for clarifying!

[@vellakoil_Kattuseval]

Great

[@terryharold2690]

Yet to try Kveik yeast, so put me down for a chance to try it. Cheers!

[@mnkybndit]

I just got a dehydrator for jerky but it would be great for drying yeast too. Thanks

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

for sure, Cheers mate!

[@carlosdecastrojr3789]

What temp do you set the oven, and do you leave the oven door open during the process?

[@morbidblu]

I’d like to be a winner and test it for ya! I’m in in South Australia

[@Qldbrewbill]

Yeah i will have ago at it.

[@gripperb52]

Maybe a food dehydrator could be used ?

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Yes for sure! I dont have one :) Cheers!

[@paulrobinson225]

Great informative video as always! Would love to try out the yeast if I'm lucky enough to win. Perth WA

[@Kdive]

Karl from Sweden would like one ;)

[@glennegan6613]

Great video Gash. Let me know when you need my address for postage. I’ll send you back a sample bottle of the resultant brew👍🏾

[@shanej2429]

Hey mate, I'd like to be in the comp, I've got a oatmeal sour stout experiment that it would be perfect for coming up.

[@mathewwhite1821]

What did you put in that jar to make the starter? Ive never done anything except rip open a pack of yeast and sprinkle it on. Ive recently purchased the 55 litre fermzilla and love to give one a crack using a starter.

[@madsleonardholvik3040]

When I brew traditional konnjøl (farm house beer. Konnjøl=grain beer) I make a starter in a 2 liter jar using two cans of clausthaler non alcoholic beer, warm the beer to 30 celcius and add a few flakes of kveik and put it on the bathroom floor and when my wort is ready later that day I add the starter to the wort in the fermentation vessel.

[@lekcom62]

great job mate how long will it last dry

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

20 years or more in the freezer they reckon! Cheers!

[@gregoirejeanfrancoisdemets5224]

How long do you believe you can store it in this form? Do you keep them in the fridge? Regards.

[@madsleonardholvik3040]

I keep it in the freezer and it keeps for years.

[@scottmuller]

where did you get the Hornindal mate? I have some liquid from Gigayeast

[@OldNorsebrewery]

scott muller I bought mine from a FB group in Norway. Kveik buy & sell or somthing similar. Remember Hornindal is best at raw ale with juniper & no hops

[@mattmholliday]

Nice! Add me to the comp. Would love to give some a try.

[@hurcorh]

Talking about end of life on these fermenters, are they recyclable?

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Yes

[@nathanwanger8957]

Have your brewed with this yeast since? How did the beer turn out? Any off flavors?

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Few times, didn’t like it the first time or the next two times, I don’t like hornindal at all, there’s a vid I have some where called hornindal vs Voss . Cheers!

[@CarlPapa88]

@@HomeBrewNetwork But the experiment did work? The dried yeast still fermented your next brew?

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

@@CarlPapa88 Yes for sure it did, I just think Kveik Yeast should be left for farmhouse beers, unfortunately I dont brew many of those, Cheers!

[@jmsnystrom]

Did this work?

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

With Kveik yeast yes for sure! Cheers!

[@ResolutionInkPtyLtd]

Can you use a dehydrator instead of the oven?

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Yes for sure! I don't have one. Cheers!

[@ResolutionInkPtyLtd]

The Home Brew Network thanks Gash

[@RichardCockerill]

why do you have to dry the yeast,new to me

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Its a way of storing the Kveik Strains, you can whack in the freezer and supposedly keep for 20 years or more! Cheers!

[@RichardCockerill]

@@HomeBrewNetwork wow thanks
