Greetings. A couple of questions and a possible suggestion.
It's mentioned in the blog that kveik yeast can be used for most beer styles. It seems the major advantage is it does not require special cooling equipment for fermentation. But are their other significant advantages if one has the necessary equipment for cooling?
A second question is if there are large differences between the Lutra kveik and the other kveiks listed, and if the others will become available anytime soon?
The suggestion: Depending on the above, it might be advantageous if the kveik is offered as an option for those kits where it could be an appropriate alternative.
Finally, would be good to know about those Norwegian trolls, if any have been seen in India, and if screaming into the fermenter might contaminate the wort. :-)
I have made American pale ales using kviek. I know of people who have made pseudo lagers with it as well but I haven’t done that. Check YouTube for more info on psudo lagers. If fermented hot, it will produce some orange esters which work with pale ales and could work with some other styles too. I would not recommend orange esters for a lager though. As suggested the fermentation time can also be shorter and using a clarification agent like gelatin (non veg) will also clear out the beer fast and you could technically have a drinkable beer in around 10 days.
