Kveik vs. British Ale Yeast - Hot Fermented Stout Tasting

We put the hot ferment to the test this week comparing a Stout brewed with Kveik Voss next to a traditional British Ale Yeast. Everyone knows that when you ferment warm/hot, often bad things can happen with the yeast profile. This should be especially true for A British Ale Yeast like WY1098. Mike fermented a stout for recipe development but forgot to set up for a cooler ferment at the time and the British Ale yeast crept up to 85F in his hot basement. What to do??? Enter Kveik Voss. Mike decided to brew the exact same beer and emulate the same hot ferment at 85F and see how the two beers compare. Current wisdom out there is that Kveik loves the high temperatures and it ferments fairly clean at those temps. This week, we put that to the test. Let us know about your temp control issues, Kveik fermentation trials as well as any other random brewing thing you have on your mind! Cheers!
