Kveik Yeastery K.14 Eitrheim Dry Beer Yeast – 7 g

Why Brewers Love It

Eitrheim is a vibrant multi-strain kveik from Reidar Eitrheim of Tokheim, Norway. Brewers are drawn to its fast, fruity fermentations and flexibility across a wide temperature range. It gives expressive tropical and stone fruit notes without needing strict cooling, making it great for hot fermentations or when you want bold character fast.

Flavor & Aroma Profile

Expect strong apricot and peach upfront, with secondary orange and pineapple notes. At higher fermentation temperatures the fruit intensity is boosted; at cooler temps, the profile is more subdued and refined.

Best Uses

• NEIPAs & Hazy Styles – intense fruit ester support works well with soft malts and heavy dry-hopping.
• Pale Ales & IPAs – to showcase bold esters without too much yeast aroma.
• Farmhouse & Experimental Ales – great for rustic profiles, hybrid, or heat-tolerant fermentations.

Technical Specifications

• Format: Dry multi-strain kveik yeast
• Packet weight: 7 g (sufficient for ~20-30 L / 5-8 US gallons wort)
• Fermentation temperature range: 15-38 °C (59-100 °F)

Brew Tips

• Ferment near the optimal temperature (31-35 °C) when maximum fruit esters are desired; cooler fermentations will slow the process and yield more subtle aroma.
• For high gravity beers, consider using two packets and adding yeast nutrients to ensure healthy attenuation.
• Pitch directly into wort by sprinkling; rehydration is optional unless under special conditions (low temp, high gravity).
