WLP518 Opshaug Kveik Ale Yeast

Sourced from our friend Lars Marius Garshol, this kveik strain was isolated from a mixed culture which belonged to Harald Opshaug, a farmhouse brewer in Stranda, Norway. This strain was originally used in the 1990s to produce several kornøl-style beers. It is a clean fermenting yeast & has tolerated temperatures up to 91F (33C) while finishing fermentation w/in three to four days. The hop-forward, clean characteristics of this strain make it ideal for IPAs & pale ales. Attenuation: 70-80, Flocculation: Med-High, ABV Tolerance: 8-12%, Fermentation Temp: 77-86.
