'''Kveik''' is a dialect word for "yeast" in Norwegian ("gjær" is the common word for "yeast" in Norwegian <ref>[http://en.bab.la/dictionary/norwegian-english/gjaer Bab.la Dictionary. Retrieved 01/21/2016.]</ref>), and today specifically refers to non-purified yeast that contains multiple domesticated (not wild) strains of ''S. cerevisiae'' and has been reused for generations in traditional Norwegian farmhouse brewing. Originally the word was used as a verb to mean "to start" or to "begin life" <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCC3tBS2j_Q Ivar Geithung. Chop And Brew Youtube video. 09/21/2019.
