The YouTube video title is Traditional Eastern Norwegian Brew: Semi Raw ( part 1&2). Well worth watching
-
I believe I still have a few cans of this stuff, dating back to 2014. Pretty sure if I chug it now I almost know I won’t get the COVID, but pretty sure I’ll get something else. It may be hardened by now, I could use it to throw at an attempted home invasion intruder?

I actually brewed a kveik a recipe from Austin Home brew Supply kit. But I kinda screwed up, I threw in a bunch of old malt, grains, lime and dme and I still have a 3 gal. keg I haven’t tapped, scared too. But my next adventure will be a more authentic one. Going by the BYO article and Video on YouTube of the same brewer who gives out more info on how he makes this specialty brew. Definitely a must see video, 2 part. He speaks English quite well too , but kept saying “ yep!” A lot. I won’t start my brew til September when it’ll still be warm enough for the yeast to react considerably. The Norwegian brewer was brewing his beer @ minus 12 celcius. That’s pretty cold

Is or has anyone attempted a kveik?

Well I finally brewed the Tank 7 and it’s in the keg until I run out of the other kegs full of beer. I just want to Tank all of you for your support and tanking you for your patience for my very late response to this topic. I do have the recipe if any are curious. I’m tinking that I may tap that keg here in September or so but not sure just yet. So I really won’t know the flavor/ profile until then.

I’ve basically given up on the liquid yeast instant pitch thing, they are too vulnerable and inconsistent with their labeling. I usually use a starter on all liquid or hit it before sealing the fermenter with a can of wort and maybe a pack of dry yeast if stuck. Seems the canned wort has been pretty effective for me. Even the new organic yeast brands along with Omega and other newer brands sometimes go lame too.

Never heard of pink boots hop, but I do have a pair of waterproof pink boots I wear in the rain!

Hey everyone!! I just got back from Uranus study and WoW! A lot has changed since I’ve been knee deep in my work! I wear a helmut when I’m out on the surface of Uranus not just because of lack of oxygen , it really is a smelly place!! Now everywhere I go here on earth people are wearing masks. Didn’t know that Uranus rubs off so close to home planet?? Anywho, hope everyone is still enjoying a great brewing moment with all the crazy things going on in this society. I subscribe to BYO magazine and the most recent issue is about a Norwegian brewer brewing a traditional Norwegian ale the old school way that dates back to the 1700’s. He’s also on YouTube 2 part video which I finally discovered yesterday. Very interesting magazine article and video. Already got my kveik yeast shipped from Norway, got one pound juniper berries and branches, alderwood and waiting for the month of September to arrive to begin the first attempt of this interesting concoction of Viking history!!!

I’m fortunate to have powdered water, all I have to do is add water
