Some thoughts on why you would use Kveik: 1. Fast fermenter (but honestly, what's the rush? if you are a homebrewer you probably have too much beer lying around anyway) 2. Needs no temperature control to work (but if you want a certain character from the yeast you do need some temperature control) 3. Yeast character 4. Tradition. If you are making a traditional norwegian farmhouse beer (or "just an authentic farmhouse beer"), Kveik is what you want.

I'm brewing a lemon zest, lemon Crystals, vanilla beans, and corriander sour soon. I am also using yakult and kveik!

I want to see more UK footage. As an American, I find it super fascinating to see what others home setups are like and the yard etc.

Can you make a ginger ipa GIPA ?

The drinking noise is off putting ,

Next *thing* I try is molassas which I got cheap it has a picture of a horse on it.

I made *something* with coconut oil, revolting texture, had a pear and carrot in it, 5 gallons, tasted like sour pear juice, then i stuck lavander in it. There was a cup of barlymalt in it. Its not good.

Damn hes right, i usually keep an extra bung around

The best fruit sour beer video made with basic equipment I've found. Thank you! Will be trying very shortly.

I'm trying to make mead it's gonna be a light beer to have once a week to enjoy with my dinner smells nice already still gotta wait another week

To the point and professional t young man, thanks! My simple wine was made without a water lock, wine yeast, germ-killer, wine yeast, damejeanne, hose.. happy with the result, not too high alcohol% due to little sugar and yeast, 6%-7% I believe (judging from my tipsiness) Much more work than you, having to rebottle etc, because of the thicker, opaque residue.

I love how British you seem to be. Like a garden sounds wonderful compared to my Arizona backyard.

What’s the best PH. Mine is currently 5.35 without messing with it.

Great video, I really rnjoy your kveik know-how. Unfortunately where I live I can only get Voss, but im looking into importing some other strains at the moment. Sorry for asking this under such an oldc video, but can you tell me, why you switched from a 67C mash to a 65C mash for your brews? Or has it changed again?

Honey variety contributes a lot to the final taste of your mead. One way to get a bit of an idea of how your finished mead is to dissolve some honey in water and taste it. 1. Clover honey is light and is what a lot of people think of when they imagine the taste of honey (especially in the US). I would suggest using it melomels and ciders (fruit juice and honey meads) 2. Wildflower varies by region and time of year in flavor. It is good for a traditional mead, but you want some residual sweetness. 3. Orange blossom mead is one of the best for traditional meads but can be somewhat expensive. My suggestion is that instead of adding table sugar, use more honey so that it doesn't go as dry. 2.5 to 3 lbs of honey per gallon of must. Honey has some sugars that the yeast beasties cannot ferment and there should be some sweetness to it at the end. I make sack (higher alcohol) meads and tend to use four pounds of honey but at this level of sugar, it can take a long time and watching the batch to make sure it works well. The yeast I use is Nottingham Ale yeast but I came to your channel to check out the kviek yeast types.

Darrell, you are working too hard man! A strong base (alkaline) cleaner with your hot water will destroy labels. Sodium bicarbonate works really well. Be liberal and soak overnight. The only thing I will add is that labels that are plastic or foil should ideally be stripped off before the soak. The base solution will take care of all the glue. The oxiclean route will work just as well (incidentally this usually contains sodium carbonate which is a stronger base than sodium bicarbonate - I'm pretty sure that is where the magic lies)

dude your content is INSANE, literally the best and highest quality brewing content ive ever seen, its unreal you dont have more subscribers with how top notch this content is. it's like TV-level production. watched every one and its what got me into brewing in the past month

Full video??

I guess this could be one of the reasons pretty much every batch I make keeps fermenting in bottle for 1-2 after

Please give me a more details like 1kg price

Warning, campden tablets are a bacteriostatic, not a bacteriocidal. Once the tablets have been depleted, growth of your infection is possiblw full and well. Campden tablets can also interfere with yeast growth if added at the same time.

Mangrove jack CY17 is allegedly a "great fit" for elderflower, gonna give it a try in an elderflower lemon zest mead.

nice video

Is yeast nutrient the same as nutritional yeast?

Can it handle fluctuations in temp. My shed is earm during the day and colder at night in summer

I just bought of these. Plan on using it my current beer. Do you make a priming solution? Normally I mix my beer out of the fermenter with a sugar solution in a bottling bucket (3oz of sugar for about 3gallons of beer) then siphon from bucket into bottles. But if I’m using less sugar, that might not work for the mini keg

My last few batches I've just left in the kettle. I mash and boil in the morning, latches on and plug the hole in the lid at flame out. Then I transfer and pitch the yeast in the evening. You'd be extremely unlucky to get any bugs in there in the short time frame the temperature is habital for them.

I can't believe you don't have more subscribers. Thanks!

I also have limited room, time and money, which is why I have simplified my brewing process as much as possible. I now do everything in my boil kettle (mash, boil and ferment). I also started using the no chill method by just leaving the wort to cool down overnight. It gets to pitching temp in less than 24 hours depending on room temperature, less if I blow a fan toward the kettle to dissipate the heat faster. The brew day ends up being much faster and less equipment to clean up. I also started low abv beers (less than 3%) which ends up being better for my health and wallet. I will try this Kveik yeast and hopefully get rid of my fermenting fridge. Thanks!

Hi ,m8 just recently got into brewing, i am for the moment sticking with extract and some dry hopping. I've been watching in particular your videos about kveik and harvesting. In your video where you crop and bottom topping do you mix them together and then pitch ? If I finish one brew on the day and top and bottom crop and introduce into my next brew on the day , will it work or do I need to refrigerate first ? If you put the yeast in fridge when your going to use it , do you need too take it out to warm up before pitching or straight in? Sorry for all the questions, but your video excites me !! Enjoying your videos !

You mucky pup - pour it into a sanitised jug before you go into your plastic jars, then you don't have it going everywhere 👍👍👍😃😃😃

Great informative video. Keep up the good work with the brewing.... and exercising your DOOM demons!

Wanna touch weiners?

Is there really a difference between top cropping kveik and bottom cropping?

When you make meads with Kveik, how do you give it nutrients? Do you front load it at the start or do you stagger it?

Do you think they may have been an issue of the type of yeast you used? I made a ginger beer and used a wine yeast and it grossed me out to even drink it.

They are great. I have been re-using the ones bought full online from breweries for a few years now as no supermarkets in my town have stocked them since covid regs started. Agree on the rubber part especially during warm weather and you did great getting the smallest part out without resorting to filling with water as most of us seem to have to. The main problem I am having is getting hold of the rubber type replacement bungs. So far I have found some that are plastic and in two parts rather than three and a bit more robust but less flexible. They seem very similar to the ones used by Warsteiner which I had a nightmare removing and ultimately wrecked in the process. I have fitted a plastic bung to a keg from a recent batch for another practice when that is matured in a few months. In the meantime I would love to see/hear how anybody has successfully removed a plastic type bung without damaging it or the keg.

This use to work fine. But it looks like they've updated lhe bung design now. Making both the barrells and bungs single use 😢

this is why I made a few meads for the first time trying it... one of my meads says it will be like 3 to 4% potential alc.... another of my meads potential alc will be around 14% and another mead 12% and another mead 10%... vastly differnt outcomes.

Thinking about going down this route eventually, but with a beer machine, would you still need to carbonate the kegs or would a beer machine with co2 canister do that for you?

Trial flask sounds fancy compared to graduated cylinder

I think I drank half a gallon the first two weeks after fermentation and then I drank the other half like a month later and it was much better. Interestingly the fresh pressed juice wasn’t as good as the cheap frozen concentrate which was cleaner and clearer and cheaper.

If its looks like a lager, smells like a lager and tastes like a lager. Too me, its a lager!

Don't drink, don't care --- Saves video ---

Useful. Thanks.

Can I ask, does the beer only last 5 days from pouring the first pint, or 5 days from siphoning into the keg?

Definitely can dry hop with Kveik. I made a great ( in my opinion) juicy hazy that was out of this world. Two things I thought kind of strange though, 1. It flocked really well, with no whirlfloc or cold crashing it came out clear. Although it still tasted like a really juicy hazy it just didn’t look like one. 2. It got better and better. I’ve normally found that such highly hopped beers will need to be consumed young, as the juiciness gives was to more bitterness over time. But the last one I had (about 3 months in a bottle) was the best. So that got me thinking, how good could it have gotten?

Smart… suggesting the flower heads be left ‘outside’ for a time to allow visiting insects a chance to escape! 😌♥️👍🏽🌟🇨🇦

Chers for this mate, brewing my first biab as we speak. A Summer Lightning clone!
