using Kviek yeast

[Brew Cat]

I started brewing 20+ years ago so it was before the Kviek yeast was available if it was I probably would have used it
I like trying different yeast now that so many are available
but I never felt the urge to try Kviek I've always thought of it as a brute
I have temperature control and I'm actually not in any particular hurry
which is mostly what I hear
am I missing something

I know there are people liked it, I'm not a fan.

My understanding is that if you have temp control, it works pretty well without weird flavors. Ferm time is very low

If you don't have temp control, then it works, but it's very estery. Again, Ferm time is very low.

As you said, I'm in no hurry, i have temp control. No desire to use it. Our beer club had some people that used it, you could always pick it out

Well you know my answer, I do use, and I do like VOSS, but I only use it in what I would call an appropriate style. The Hazy IPA, fermented hot, it is the right yeast,at least for me. I don't use it in anything else. I don't use any other Kveik strains

If you have no use for it, don't use it.

I've heard people use it for the NEIPA but I very rarely brew those
I do brew WCIPAs

I use it in summertime, as it is one of the only yeasts that can handle my temperatures (in case of no temp control).
Yes it is a beast.
Yes, I did get that "tang", but only during the first couple of times using it. I went very high in temp by accident and that brew did not have that tang. Go over 35 oC, pref 38-39 oC.
I like letting it sit a bit longer after fermentation as well. This also improved the beer.
