30 - Kveik Helles
Episode description
In recent years strains and cultures of yeasts from Norway have started to get a lot of attention in the brewing world. Unlike other strains they ferment clean even at temperatures as high as 40°C! But can it make a good lager? Using a (sort of) traditional Munich Helles as a base and an isolated strain of Kveik, Mike hopes to find out.
As usual, we brew one ourselves and talk about it, then try these examples:
Hofmeister - Helles http://www.hofmeister.co.uk/
And Union - Unfiltered Lager http://www.andunion.com/en/
Boutilliers - Turtle Paradise http://www.boutilliers.com/
* FINAL GRAVITY *
We also try the Traditional Dark Mild from episode 19. Find out what went right, what went wrong, and what we learned by brewing.
