Top Crop IPA - Ekuanot / Medusa Hopped Kveik IPA - In One Day!

In this brewing video, we're making an IPA using Kveik yeast, Medusa, and Ekuanot hops. In order to ferment this beer, we top cropped yeast from the krausen of an actively fermenting batch. This process was a bit of an experiment, but it's actually a very easy and efficient way to harvest yeast. The yeast found on the krausen is all viable, healthy, and clean, meaning it doesn't need to be washed like yeast at the bottom of a fermenter.
This homebrew recipe is also extremely quick to make. Because of shorter mash and boil times and kveik yeast, we had a finished IPA in just about a day. Kveik yeast is an excellent choice if you're in a pinch and need to make beer fast. In our case, we had friends coming from out of town and the last thing we wanted was dry tap lines. We recommend you brew this Kveik IPA during the summertime and share it with friends at cookouts, pool parties, and tailgates. Pair it with some grilled steaks and juicy hamburgers or lighter foods like tomato salad and watermelon. Check out the resources below for a full recipe, brewing equipment, and an article from Milk The Funk that explains what Kveik yeast is all about.

[@TotallyAestheticGames]

[@ChristianoMoe]

Kveik is awesome. Love that you use it in your latest brews. Skål! Chris, Norway

[@SoundItOutFilms]

Love the macro hop shots

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Stoked to see the updated space 🤘🏼

[@gunasuppiah759]

I've had the same idea with Kveik. Works like a charm. I call it share-croppin'.

[@kyler1969]

It’s a great idea, especially with that yeast I have many mason jars filled with starters ready to go from the exact same strain That I top cropped from.

[@nunyabidness2148]

The Golden God never disappoints

[@ThirdHillFromTheLeft]

Dennis Reynolds is so nice in the new season of Sunny In Philadelphia

[@S0ZettaSl0w]

He really does look him haha.

Just today, I cracked open a low ABV ale I fermented with Voss Kveik. Instead of top cropping, I used the yeast from a previous batch, washed it once and let it dry to flakes, then just put the flakes into the fermenter - no starter. And let me tell ya, it's pretty friggen good!

[@HafMpty]

Music on brew day is an essential. Thank you for your sacrifice. :) Could you use some bluetooth headphones & listen that way? Nothing you probably haven't thought of. Thanks for the videos.

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Loving the fast brew day and the aeration hack. Going to have to give top cropping a try. And sick sick rotating hops shots!

[@BrewabitRick]

Never top cropped but I'm in going for it cheers 🍻👍

[@Adol666]

Kyle in Every Clawhammer Brewing Video "We have like No beer right now" LOL

[@jrwatter]

I'm using essentially original Hornindal Yeast. To get a neutral fermentation I'm doing a 2 liters starter to get close to 150 ml mark of the yeast cake. It takes 24hs of starter at room temperature to be completed. Actually, room temperature here in Rio de Janeiro is close to 35ºC. Then to get a neutral beer fermentation I cold the wort to 35ºC and let the yeast do the rest. It takes at most 5 days to complete the fermentation. To collect the yeast a Norwegian paper say that the Hornindal yeast should be collected by top crop always. Hope you understand my bad English. :D

[@adamcogswell1859]

Kveik drops the finished pH of a beer more than a traditional strain of sacch. Shoot for a higher mash pH when using it to off set this.

[@KaliaryRoy]

Хорошая работа, интересное видео. Привет из России!

[@dontlikebigbubblesinmyguinness]

Can you crop and reserve or do you have to toss it in a batch of wort straight away?

[@amcgrafx]

I thought I was the only one that drinks on brew day ;) entertaining!

[@IDillon0]

Someone else asked, but is it viable to save the top crop? Or does it need to be used immediately

[@CGhee135]

What do you guys put between the kettle and table?

[@zzing]

Do you find the finishing ph to be lower with kveik?

[@danielebarnabo43]

Hey do you guys like the taste that Voss kveik leaves in the beer? To me it's very strong and overwhelmes anything else and makes it also smell very yeasty

[@Fabianwew]

Tried letting it settle for a while? It's supposed to a quite neutral yeast.

[@ExtraMustardTiger]

Might just have to sift through some of the KZbin no copyright music channels to find some music you like that isn't subject copyright infringement. There's all kinds of different music to suit ones taste.

[@ClawhammerSupply]

We use artlist.io for music

[@nordicsilver9675]

Is that the dude from always sunny

[@chillyhomemadebeer7577]

Misleading thumbnail, excellent idea

[@blitzkrieg6093]

Can yall do a mango I.P.A? Something crazy like the orange candy peel one ya'll did?

[@ClawhammerSupply]

Hmm, I love mango so that could be good.

[@JoseLopez-ko7qg]

This dude looks like Dennis Reynolds

[@z4lechpro]

That was fast

[@StillIt]

Ayyyyeeeeew first?

[@mossyrock123]

Your definitely over pitiching, a tea spoon of kveik is plenty for 5 gallon batch, so you cud have got a few batches out of one of those packs

[@thesaint8400]

Where is daddy Emmet?

[@ClawhammerSupply]

Emmet will definitely be in the next brew video!

[@mattharris2018]

I’ll tell my Mom

[@blitzkrieg6093]

Tell your mom.

[@vasilijkante7166]

Just dont smoke that much. Would help

[@chadcarson1938]

Figure out how to isolate and remove the music you listen to while brewing with sound manipulation software. Whoever edits your videos should be able to figure it out. Cheers

[@alexrocks135]

I find that glass pint racist

[@eduardoferraz9429]

Voss kveik is botom croping
