Hello all. I am in the fermentation stage with this beer, despite not having a ton of info on Voss Kveik and the flavors it imparts in wheat beers. I also have not brewed with Raspberries in the past, and would like some advice.
Just a bit about brew day-
We hit our OG right on the button at 1.052 mashing at 150*, and the color is exceptionally pale straw. I had started the yeast the night before, and we were at nearly high krausen within 8 hours fermenting at 68*. I am fermenting at this lower temp to also accommodate a pale ale using WLP 007, and of the two, VK is less dependent on temp ranges.
First of all- thoughts on VK with this grain bill, and what I should expect from a clarity and flavor profile?
Secondly, I plan on only adding 2lbs of frozen raspberries to the secondary after 14 days in the primary (I know that's longer than probably necessary). THe recipie says 3, but i have added 0 to this piont, and the 2lbs is all I plan on adding. The berries would sit in the secondary with the beer for 2 weeks. My plan for sterilizing them was to run them up to 170* in some water and having them stand for about 15 minutes, then essentially muddling the liquid, running them through some cheesecloth to filter, then throwing the liquid into the secondary. Is this the way to go?
