Produces beers with dominant orange, tangerine, and citrus flavors, complemented by subtle notes of tropical fruit and a mild spiciness
Multi-Strain Kveik Yeasts are original blends of kveik yeast cultures rather than isolated single-strain yeasts
Ferments effectively across a broad spectrum (59-104°F), offering flexibility for various beer styles
Achieves complete fermentation in as little as 72 hours at optimal temperatures (88-95°F), speeding up the brewing process
Well-suited for a variety of beer styles, including farmhouse ales, IPAs, pale ales, and sours
Voss multi-strain comes from Sigmund Gjernes in Voss. The flavor and aroma primarily stem from orange, tangerine, and citrus. Secondary flavors include tropical fruit and mild spiciness. Voss ferments well between 59-104°F and will ferment faster at higher temperatures. At an optimal temperature of 88-95°F, you can expect fermentation to take up to 72 hours. Voss is well-suited for farmhouse ales, IPAs, pale ales, and sours.
The Voss kveik comes from Sigmund Gjernes in Voss, Norway. Voss is situated south of the Jostedal glacier. Voss was somewhat isolated from the larger cities, and most people were farming and self-sustained. People shared kveik mainly with each other, and because of the distance to other settlements, the kveik was rarely mixed with other types. The Voss kveik is unique in taste and aroma, much because of the great work done by Sigmund and others to preserve the yeast throughout the years.
The Multi-Strain Difference
Kveik Yeastery's unique multi-strain kveik yeasts capture the true essence of traditional Norwegian farmhouse brewing, delivering a depth of flavor and robust fermentation unmatched by single-strain alternatives. While other suppliers offer isolated kveik strains, Kveik Yeastery is the only source for authentic, dried multi-strain blends, providing brewers with the complex, nuanced profiles that define classic kveik. These diverse blends offer a superior brewing experience, unlocking the full potential of this remarkable yeast.
Flavor and Aroma
Primary flavors: Orange, tangerine and citrus
Secondary flavors: Tropical fruit and mild spiciness
The intensity is medium at high fermentation temperatures, and at lower temperatures, it will be less intense.
Fermentation
Voss ferments well from 59°F up to 104°F. The higher fermentation temperature, the faster fermentation. At the optimum temperature 88-95°F expect fermentation to finish in 72 hours. When fermentation is done at low temperatures you can expect fermentation time to increase. For high gravity beers, we recommend users to pitch two packs of yeast and add yeast nutrition to ensure a healthy fermentation.
Pitching
Pitch directly into wort by sprinkling it across the surface, or rehydrate yeast. For fermentation below 64°F, or high gravity, increase pitching rate to 2.25 g/Gal.
One 7 g sachet treats 5 to 8 gallons of wort.
One 300 g brewery pouch treats 8.5 bbl of wort.
