White Labs also published data on their website regarding pitch rate and temperature differences for four of their kveik isolates: WLP518(Opshaug from Stranda), WLP519(Langlo from Stranda), WLP520(Gjernes from Voss), and WLP521(Raftevold from Hornindal). Four trials were conducted total, with two trials at 0.25 mil cells/mL/°P (low pitch rate) at 20°C and 32°C, and two trials at 0.75 mil cells/mL/°P (high pitch rate) at 20°C and 32°C (see [[Kveik#Temperature_and_Attenuation|pitch rate/temperature and attenuation differences ]] below). They measured diacetyl and acetaldehyde differences between the four fermentations. Of the significant results, they found the following: <ref name="white_labs_experiment">[https://www.whitelabs.com/news-update-detail?id=69&type=NEWS White Labs website.

* WLP518 produced higher acetaldehyde at a high pitch rate at 32°C, but not at 20°C.
