CellarScience – VOSS Kveik Ale Yeast x 12g

CellarScience’s VOSS Kveik Ale Yeast is a traditional Norwegian farmhouse strain with rapid fermentation capabilities.

It’s suitable for various beer styles, fermenting in 2-3 days at 20-40°C. This yeast produces a clean taste with citrus notes and can tolerate up to 16% ABV. Its medium to high flocculation results in clearer final products, with an attenuation rate of 75-80%. You can direct pitch or rehydrate this yeast, using 0.5-1.0 million cells/mL for peak fermentation.

CellarScience guarantees product purity through HEPA filtration and custom packaging. Further exploration of this versatile yeast strain will reveal additional technical specifications and application methods.

Cellar Science Voss Kveik Overview

VOSS Kveik’s alcohol tolerance of up to 16% ABV makes it suitable for high-gravity brews. The yeast’s attenuation rate of 75-80% guarantees efficient sugar conversion during fermentation. Each batch undergoes PCR testing for quality control, ensuring consistency and purity.

The yeast is pre-loaded with essential nutrients, eliminating the need for additional supplementation and simplifying your brewing process.

Dosage

When preparing to use this versatile yeast, understanding the correct dosage is key to achieving ideal fermentation results. For a standard 19-23 liter batch, you’ll need one sachet of VOSS Kveik Ale Yeast. If you’re brewing larger volumes, adjust the dosage to 0.5-0.8 grams per liter. This guarantees optimal cell count for efficient fermentation.

Direct pitching is a viable option due to the yeast’s high viability and sterol levels. However, if you prefer rehydration, mix the yeast with sterilized water at 29-35°C, adding FermStart for enhanced performance. Allow the slurry to stand for 20 minutes before use.

It’s vital to adjust the slurry’s temperature to match your wort before pitching, minimizing thermal shock to the yeast cells.

For high-gravity worts or challenging fermentation conditions, consider increasing the dosage slightly. The yeast’s alcohol tolerance of up to 16% ABV allows for flexibility in recipe design.

Direct Pitch or Rehydrate

Brewers have a choice when it comes to pitching VOSS Kveik Ale Yeast: direct pitch or rehydrate.

The direct pitch method involves adding the yeast directly to the wort without prior preparation. This approach is viable due to the yeast’s high viability and sterol levels, resulting from its aerobic growth process. Direct pitching doesn’t require initial oxygenation, simplifying the process for brewers.

Alternatively, you can opt for rehydration, which some brewers prefer. To rehydrate, sanitize the yeast package and scissors before opening. Mix 10 grams of sterilized water at 29-35°C with 0.25 grams of FermStart per gram of yeast. Sprinkle the yeast onto this prepared solution and allow the slurry to stand undisturbed for 20 minutes.

After this period, gently swirl the mixture. Before pitching, it’s essential to adjust the slurry’s temperature to within 6°C of the wort temperature. This temperature adjustment can be achieved by adding small amounts of wort to the yeast slurry.

Regardless of the chosen method, maintain the fermentation temperature within the ideal range of 20-40°C for best results.
