Description
Opshaug used the strain for years, brewing kornøl-style raw ales with juniper branches and kveik like other brewers in the area until he was exposed to modern brewing theory, which teaches that this method of brewing is wrong. In an effort to stay current, Opshaug switched from the kveik to a commercially available strain, but he couldn’t bring himself to get rid of the kveik which he calls “the good sort” so he made it a point to keep it alive throughout the years.
Kveiks are known for their high-temperature tolerance and WLP518 Opshaug Kveik Ale Yeast is no exception. Opshaug often pitched the yeast at 73-75°F (23-24°C), but the strain has handled up to 95°F (35°C). He would harvest yeast from the top after 30 hours, and the beer would be finished after 48-50 hours.
