Notes

Farmhouse pitch: 30°C
Typical range: 20-35°C
Max growth temperature: 42°C
Bacteria: Yes

Give the yeast plenty of nutrients, either by producing a high gravity wort (OG >1.050), or by adding yeast nutrients for worts of lower gravity (OG <1.050).
Go easy on the bittering hops. Rapid kveik fermentations gives the beer a lower pH compared to other brewers yeasts, which can accentuate hop bitterness and make the beer astringent. For this reason it is often a good idea to shoot for a slightly higher terminal pH.
I also recommend using the same pitching temperatures as that of the original farmhouse brewers. This is the temperature denoted by ‘farmhouse pitch’ on the yeast packet.
Make a starter, and pitch about a teaspoon or more from the slurry. This will ensure your yeast is healthy, which makes for better fermentation performance.
Ferment at the temperature that the farmhouse brewers use for best results. This temperature is denoted by ‘farmhouse pitch’ on the yeast packets.
