Lutra Kveik “Cold IPA” ?

[Dave Y]

I’ve been toying with a cold IPA idea and noticed that

1) it’s Hot in Texas... We are in the ‘broil’ season
2) I have Lutra Kveik.

These 3 things cannot be a coincidence.
If I did use Lutra, would it instead be a hot IPA?

IDK, but right now I’m thinking a strong 2 row / Pils base, targeting about 6-6.25 ABV, some cascade will be involved and hopefully some of my home grown cascade. and some of my higher alpha hops- Idaho7, maybe Galaxy.

What do you lot think?

I've tried it before. It just never gets as clean tasting as lager yeast. Even lager yeast in the 60s F. Still a tasty beer tho

Agreed. I’ve used it once in a mash bill I’ve used as a German style lager. It was ... eh.

Also, Wayne has a Cold IPA recipe that I've wanted to try but haven't had good lager conditions. And I'm pretty sure it just won a medal.
