LalBrew® Voss™ Kveik Ale Yeast

Kveik is a Norwegian word meaning yeast. In the Norwegian farmhouse tradition, kveik was preserved by drying and passed from generation to generation. Kveik is the original, traditional dried yeast!

The LalBrew Voss™ strain was obtained from Sigmund Gjernes (Voss, Norway), who has maintained this culture using traditional methods since the 1980s and generously shared it with the wider brewing community.

LalBrew Voss™ supports a wide range of fermentation temperatures between 77-104°F (25-40°C) with a very high optimal range of 95-104°F (35-40°C). Very fast fermentations are achieved within the optimal temperature range with full attenuation typically achieved within 2-3 days.

The flavor profile is consistent across the entire temperature range: neutral with subtle fruity notes of orange and citrus. Flocculation is very high producing clear beers without filtration or use of process aids.
