Jdub 2,968 Posted June 20 hell yeah! lots of times. hothead is one of them, and the Voss Kveik. used them both. do a hot Texas garage batch IPA with it. no temp control needed. did an ipa last summer and temp got up to 100 deg in my garage. turned out so good! i think the brew finished in like 3 days. crazy. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice. Pretty crazy stuff. Any noticeable difference? Would you only use it for IPAs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would you only use it for IPAs? im not sure, but it gives off fruity esters at higher temps, plus, i mostly brew ipa's so it's a good fit i think. i'll bet a wheat beer would be nice too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Sarge 1,531 Posted June 20 🤘🏻I like it! I think I might have to try some out in a hot El Paso garage once I get there. Have a standard brew in the fermenting fridge, and let the Kveik ride the lightning! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HoppySmile! 2,338 Posted July 22 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 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HoppySmile! 2,338 Posted July 22 The YouTube video title is Traditional Eastern Norwegian Brew: Semi Raw ( part 1&2). Well worth watching 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
