Produces beers with dominant apricot and peach flavors, complemented by subtle notes of orange and pineapple
Multi-Strain Kveik Yeasts are original blends of kveik yeast cultures rather than isolated single-strain yeasts
Ferments effectively across a broad spectrum (59-100°F), offering flexibility for various beer styles
Achieves complete fermentation in as little as 72 hours at optimal temperatures (88-95°F), speeding up the brewing process
Well-suited for a variety of beer styles, including IPA, Pale Ale, NEIPA, Stouts, and Porters
Eitrheim multi-strain comes from Reidar Eitrheim in Tokheim. The flavor and aroma primarily derive from apricot and peach, with secondary notes of orange and pineapple. Eitrheim ferments well between 59-100°F and will ferment faster at higher temperatures. At an optimal temperature of 88-95°F, you can expect fermentation to take up to 72 hours. Eitrheim is suitable for IPAs, pale ales, and NEIPAs.
The Eitrheim kveik comes from Reidar Eitrheim from Tokheim, Norway. Tokheim is located close to Odda in the heart of the Hardangerfjord and next to the Folgefonna National Park. The yeast has been passed on for generations, and Reidar got it from his grandfather. The yeast is very versatile and can be used in different beer types such as IPA, Pale Ale, NEIPA, Stouts, and Porters.
The Multi-Strain Difference
Kveik Yeastery's unique multi-strain kveik yeasts capture the true essence of traditional Norwegian farmhouse brewing, delivering a depth of flavor and robust fermentation unmatched by single-strain alternatives. While other suppliers offer isolated kveik strains, Kveik Yeastery is the only source for authentic, dried multi-strain blends, providing brewers with the complex, nuanced profiles that define classic kveik. These diverse blends offer a superior brewing experience, unlocking the full potential of this remarkable yeast.
Flavor and Aroma
Primary flavors: Apricot and peach
Secondary flavors: Orange and pineapple
The intensity is medium at high fermentation temperatures, and at lower temperatures, it will be less intense.
Fermentation
Eitrheim ferments well from 59°F up to 100°F. The higher fermentation temperature, the faster fermentation. At the optimum temperature 88-95°F expect fermentation to finish in 72 hours. When fermentation is done at low temperatures you can expect fermentation time to increase. For high gravity beers, we recommend users to pitch two packs of yeast and add yeast nutrition to ensure a healthy fermentation.
Pitching
Pitch directly into wort by sprinkling it across the surface, or rehydrate yeast. For fermentation below 64°F, or high gravity, increase pitching rate to 2.25 g/Gal.
One 7 g sachet treats 5 to 8 gallons of wort.
One 300 g brewery pouch treats 8.5 bbl of wort.
