    This is a truly amazing yeast. FAST FAST FAST, very clean profile ( essentially neutral). I have brewed 6 batches with it so far( 4 with liquid and 2 with dry) essentially all were done fermenting in 3 days .OYL-071 has allowed me to brew lager (pseudolager?) style beers without temperature control. I packet is plenty for a 5 gallon batch, you will see airlock activity within hours. Floculation is high. Attenuation is very high.

    I find your videos very inspirational and educational. Lutra is now available in the UK from The Malt Miller, an excellent supplier with great customer support.
    A 20C fermentation temperature with Lutra to produce a clean crispy lager is in the same range of many other ale yeasts. Would I notice a difference if I used S04 instead, knowing that it may take an extra 4 or so days to complete primary?

    • @DavidHeathHomebrew
      @DavidHeathHomebrew  2 роки тому

    I have used liquid Lutra a lot. For pseudo lagers, I have gotten best results building 1 pack with a 1L starter for 24 hours then fermenting at 68 degrees F. For clean IPA's and American Style Stouts (basically replacing Chico yeast) I have gotten great results fermenting at 95 degrees F with one packet, no starter necessary.

    David, most of your recipes that I have seen recommend fermenting at about 86F for 7 days. I'm in the midst of a ferment at 90F and it seems to have finished after a day....
    Is there any harm in leaving it in the fermenter a longer than 7 days?

    Really like the specs on this. Good attenuation and high alcohol tolerance, so will surely give it a go. But this has to be the most expensive dry yeast on the market. It's more than twice the price of Lallemands Voss where I live.

    • @DavidHeathHomebrew
      @DavidHeathHomebrew  3 роки тому

      Yes, this yeast for sure has great specs for variety. It is not cheap but it is very unique.

    • @herpsmaltwatta
      @herpsmaltwatta 3 роки тому +3

      But surely the price matters very little if you can crop and store yeast from every brew. So one pack can go a long way. If you can do that in your set-up obviously.

    • @OlliWilkman
      @OlliWilkman 3 роки тому +3

      You can stretch one packet out to many brews by top-cropping and preserving the yeast. Even if you just harvest once from your first brew, you should have enough in store for a couple more, and you can then repeat the process. David's made good guides on that as well.

    • @DavidHeathHomebrew
      @DavidHeathHomebrew  3 роки тому +1

    • @ericv00
      @ericv00 3 роки тому +1

      Yup. I've used Lutra Kveik for, I think, 5 out of my 7 brews over the summer, and I only purchased it once. I have almost a quart jar full of the stuff, and have started using it in my breads, too. Though most of the time, since I carbonate in the bottle, I just drink a beer, swirl the bottom, and dump the sediment into my dough, so it doesn't even come out of the bulk jar. At this point, my surplus yeast gets integrated into compost more than it is used for beer.
      I'm sure at some point, since my home isn't a high-end laboratory, it will get contaminated with something and I'll have to replace it with a new packet. Still, considering the ease of reusing yeast, it's cost is among the least of my worries.

If this yeast ferment with 3-4 days, how days you have the beer at the fermenter? Or It isn't necessary with this yeast. Thanks for your effort.

    • @DavidHeathHomebrew
      @DavidHeathHomebrew  2 роки тому

    David, perhaps it would be useful to talk about how to clear these Kveik strains, since that seems to be a bugbear that catches one out way after fermentation. Time saved in the crazy primary ferm times is lost in waiting for this sludge to clear. At this point I'm pretty sure I have a presentable beer quicker with US-05.

    Hi, I have used lutra yeast a couple of times and brewed a good pseudo lager. However recently I tried to repeat my previous recipe and have ended up with a slightly sour beer. I am unsure whether this was down to the yeast (as I had run out of nutrient so did not add any to this brew) or whether it was down to the lactic acid I added to the mash. Brewfather had my mask ph at 5.4 after adding 10ml to a 25L batch. I live in Norfolk where the water os very hard so I was trialling using lactic acid. What do you think the most likely cause of the sourness is? There were to many changes in variables to be sure.. I will repeat again with half the acid and put some nutrient in too. 😢

    • @DavidHeathHomebrew

  • @grahameys2
    @grahameys2 3 роки тому +2

    Thanks for this video. I have a packet in the fridge ready to try. Have you had any success harvesting it? Would be a good way to make an expensive packet go further. That is also a high pitch rate recommended considering it is Kveik is it not?

    • @DavidHeathHomebrew
      @DavidHeathHomebrew  3 роки тому

      I have not tried harvesting this yet but only once harvested this will have its natural formulation. The formulation will be Omegas own when in sachet form. This dictates pitch rate.

    • @DavidHeathHomebrew

      Certainly I have been enjoying the results personally. Naturally this is all personal taste based, so you will need to try it to see where it is for you. Like other Kveik this is very useful for cutting down conditioning time on bigger ABV styles compared to regular yeast like US-05

  • @sailordog00
    @sailordog00 3 роки тому +1

    My screw-up. I used the lutra dry, whole packet for a 5-gallon IPA, post boil SG 0f 1.082, and added Fermentis yeast nutrient at the low side of their recommendation 1tsp / gallon. I turned into a runaway train. I had a spunding valve on the gas side of the keg fermenter and later when I looked in the morning, I thought it was still at zero. It was actually pegged on the backside of zero, 50 -60 psi! I put a blow off line and got a lot of foam ( the keg started with 5-6 inches head space). 4 hours later it is still bubbling away in the blow off bucket. I am hoping for the best. Do I want to avoid yeast nutrients with keviek in general?

    • @DavidHeathHomebrew
      @DavidHeathHomebrew  3 роки тому

      Learning by doing works. I use triple yeast nuts for kveik unless its high abv. Kveik is different to normal yeast and much of it is opposites.

    Great video as always. I have a question regarding the pitch rate. The packet says 1-2 packets per 5 gallon batch. You've previously stated that some commercial kveik instructions are actually over pitched, is this the case here? Can I get away with half a packet per 5 gallons for example?

    • @DavidHeathHomebrew
      @DavidHeathHomebrew  3 роки тому +1

      Thank you. This kveik has its own formulation, so its different from the sachet. According to Omega the lower pitch rate is best used when fermenting this at higher temps irrespective of SG.

    Hi David, I'm a huge fan of your work and sharing of homebrew experience. I want ask you a question about co-fermentation with this yeast. Do you think it is possible to pitch Lutra after 2-3 days with WY2565, for a fast turn-around Kölsch, but still with the nice flavor from my favorite Kölsch yeast?

    • @DavidHeathHomebrew
      @DavidHeathHomebrew  3 роки тому +1

      Thanks Simon. Ive not tried a cofermentation with Lutra but I notice that its a very fast fermenter even at low temperatures. The best results that I have had with kveik cofermentations is from copitching. So I would probably try a kolsch yeast that will work well at temps lower than 20 so that the Lutra is still pitched at the same time but slowed.
