Is #1 a ne ipa? Lots of people are using the kviek strains for those, so I'd go with that if it is a ne ipa.

 

[Nola_Brew]

Yep- The last NEIPA i brewed I used the Kveik strain. It made for a great beer.
I'll probably go back with the Kveik for #1 and use the Conan (OYL052) for #2.

So you've become a Baltic farmhouse brewer now?

more or less yup. It's good stuff. Makes really nice pale ales.

Will have to try my hand at this Nordic yeast'

It likes to ferment hot too, like 30C. I actually have to put a heat band on my fermenter.

A good yeast for in the summertime then..it's weird such a warm clean fermenting strain of yeast has come from such a cold climate blows my mind.
