Kveik Ragnarok

  • Fermentation: top
  • Temperature Range: 20 - 40°C
  • Attenuation: 68 - 80 %
  • Flocculation: very high
  • Alcohol Tolerance: 10 % ABV
  • Strain Profile: One of the most unique yeast trains in our collection this yeast was isolated from a Norwegian farm brewery in Vossenvangen. The traditional word for homegrown yeast is "kveik" and this strain is as pure kveik as they come. This strain is a fast fermenter with good attenuation, a light earthy spiciness, marked tartness and unique ester profile of orange peel. Despite fairly high attenuation, beer fermented with this yeast seems sweet due to increased fruity notes
