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

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).
