Yeast: WHC Hornindal Kveik

A dried version of a yeast strain isolated from a kveik isolate from the Hornindial region in Norway. Similar to other kveik strains like Voss this is a thermotolerant strain. Higher temperatures increase the production of tropical fruit esters, ferment this yeast between 28c and 37c and will complete fermentation in a far quicker time, usually only a few days. As ever though, we suggest that once fermentation is complete you allow a few days for a directly rest before moving on to dry hopping phase.

Secondary additions:

Once fermentation is complete, if you have the ability to cool your wort and drop yeast we recommend this before adding dry hops – ideally to around 15c, however if this is not the case then move on to dry hopping either way, both 100g of Eclipse and Vic Secret. Leave these in contact with the beer for 48-72 hours, rousing with co2 if you are able to. Then if you can, drop the hops out from the bottom of your FV before cold crashing and packaging or move on to packaging if you do not have the ability to cold crash.
