Remarks

“Kveik” is a Norwegian dialect term for yeast and is derived from the Old Norse “kvikk”, which means “strong” and “fast”, in the sense of healthy and lively. Kveik yeasts ferment quickly (48-72 hours) and are tolerant of high temperatures.

If possible, store in vacuum-sealed packaging, dry and odor-free at 4°C / 40°F.

Avoid contact with air. Do not freeze.

Once the packaging has been opened, the yeast should be used immediately.

AEB Brewing Yeast are tested to a high and rigorous standard and are only released to the market when all quality, safety and reliability parameters are met.

Use

It is generally recommended that active dry yeast is pitched directly into the wort without prior rehydration. If direct pitching is not feasible the yeast can be hydrated and pitched in liquid form. To rehydrate dissolve the dry yeast in sterile water or in wort at room temperature at a ratio of 1:10. Stir gently and leave for approximately 20 minutes. Gently stir again and add to the cooled wort in the fermenter. To avoid yeast stress, ensure temperature fluctuations are minimal.
