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, this yeast is also great for dark styles such as imperial stouts.

Great for IPA’s and pale ales this yeast produces flavours of tangerine, pineapple and mango. A very high rate of fermentation and flocculation at higher temperatures.

Origin: kveik isolate from Hornindial region in Norway

It should be noted that Dehydrated Hornindal may be needed to be pitched at a higher temperature range than other brewery yeast. It is recommended that the temperature of the wort exceeds 28C but no greater than 37C. It should also be noted that Hornindal may require a low pitching rate with other yeast products. as with other kveik yeast it is recommended to us nutrient at a double dose rate.

Oxygenation and/or rehydration may not be needed for generation zero but may be beneficial.

About WHC Labs

WHC Lab is a Biotechnology business focused on the brewing/distilling industry, established in 2017. The laboratory boasts best in class laboratory equipment, experts in the brewing and distilling industry and uses next-generation methods to grow brewing/distilling yeast and bacteria. A full range of liquid and dried yeast is available for professional breweries and home brewers alike.

We provide an selection of analysis services, available for all customers trying to maintain a high quality and consistent final product. Our R&D lab is home to industry-leading equipment including our Anton Paar Alcolyzer and density meter as well as QPCR for genetic analysis. Our services offer a large selection of tests including microanalysis PH, IBU, ABV, Congeners, calories, final gravity, colour (EBC) and water/gluten testing.

WHC Lab is proud to propagate fresh, high cell count and quality yeasts. We do so by propagating fresh for orders and integrating stringent quality control throughout our production process. Every pitch of yeast is genetically tested on our QPCR system to ensure that our pitches are free from any contaminating microorganisms and are highly viable and metabolically active.

Brewing Industry

We work closely with 100s of breweries globally to make sure our product is of the absolute highest quality. We can help with strain selection or increasing fermentation performance for new beers or improve old ones. We can help improve any processes within the breweries with a consultation. Our R&D Laboratory can help with keeping your QC within in check for batch releases and screen for any contaminants within the brewery.

Distilling Industry

Interested in any spirit production. We can help with increasing performance within the distillery or developing new products. Whether efficiency, flavour improvement or fermentation improvement is the goal we can help.

We currently offer liquid, cream or dried distillers yeast so we have something for every business.
