K.14 Eitrheim kveik gives an incredible taste of ripe pear, plum, raisin, prune and honey. This strain is very versatile, but it shines best in stout and barley wine! Its yellow fruit and dried fruit aromas enhance the malty flavors. Fruit intensity will be moderately high at higher fermentation temperatures, and less intense at lower temperatures. The higher the temperature range, the faster the fermentation. At 42°C it can ferment in 48 hours.

KVEIK
Kveik is a Norwegian multiculture yeast that traditionally was used in farmhouse brewing, and passed on from fat- her to son through many generations. It is known to ferment incredibly fast and creating unique flavors and aroma. This yeast is made in Norway, and is real Norsk Kveik.

EITRHEIM
The Eitrheim kveik comes from Reidar Eitrheim from Tokheim, Norway. Tokheim is located close to Odda in the he- art 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 Eitrheim kveik gives an incredible taste of ripe pear, plum, raisin, prune and honey. The yeast is very versatile and can be used in different beer types such as IPA, Pale Ale, NEIPA, Stouts and Porters.

FERMENTATION
Eitrheim ferments well from 18°C (64°F) and up to 42°C (107°F). The higher fermentation temperature, the faster fermentation. At the highest temperature you can expect the beer to ferment in 48 hours. When fermentation is done at low temperatures you can expect fermentation time to increase. We recommend users to add yeast nutriti- on to ensure a healthy fermentation.

FLAVOR AND AROMA
Flavor and aroma has fruity notes with ripe pear, plum/prune and honey being the main characteristics. The in- tensity is medium at high fermentation temperatures, and at lower temperatures it will be less intens.

PITCHING
Pitch directly into wort by sprinkling the yeast across the surface. Ensure that the wort has a temperature above 20°C (68°F). Pitching rate 20 g/hl. For fermentation below 20°C (68°F) or high gravity, increase pitching rate to 40 g/hl.

STORAGE
Sealed package should be stored in dry conditions below 6°C (43°F). Product can be transported and kept at room temperature for a period of up to 1 month. Opened satchets must be re-sealed, stored in dry conditions below 6°C (43°F), and used within 3 days. Do not use damaged satchets
