Notes

Ok, this is the setup for my second iteration of this recipe. My fermentation fridge gave up the ghost, and I haven’t brewed in over a year and a half, so something’s gotta give.
I’ve decided to try a Kveik strain because of the reports that it will ferment cleanly at up to 100°F. I’m not planning to ferment that warm, but I’ll have it in the house at about 73°. Fermentation will probably drive the beer temp up several degrees, but I’m not sure how high.
I have thawed a glycerin stock of Imperial A43 Loki yeast and pitched it to a 4-liter starter. After 24 hours it is now very active on the stir plate.
I know this beer might not be anything like an English pale ale, especially if it exhibits the tropical fruit flavors and aromas that are reported with this yeast. We’ll see!

 -Cheers
