LalBrew Voss Kveik Ale Yeast – 11 g
Brand: Lallemand
Why Brewers Love It
Voss Kveik is a traditional Norwegian yeast strain from Voss, maintained by Sigmund Gjernes, now available in a high-performance dry form. It offers lightning-fast fermentations, versatile temperature tolerance, and a clean character with subtle fruit notes. Perfect for farmhouse ales or any brew where speed and flavor clarity matter.
Flavor & Aroma Profile
Relatively neutral overall with gentle orange and citrus highlights. Even at high fermentation temperatures, off-flavors stay low; the light fruit character complements rather than overwhelms malt and hops.
Best Uses
- Norwegian farmhouse ales and fast-fermented neutral ales.
- Hop-forward ales like IPAs and Pale Ales where yeast should not obscure hops.
- Hot-weather brewing or anytime rapid turnaround is desired.
