Although '''landrace''' is a term used in many areas, this page will be using it as descriptors of a yeast or mixed culture that derives from a traditional farmhouse/landrace brewing cultures from around the world (note that kveik, while considered "landrace" yeast, is split off onto its [[Kveik|own page]] for wiki management purposes). This term was first used to describe yeast by [https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmicb.2018.02137/full Tyrawa et al. (2018)] to describe traditional Norwegian kveik yeast <ref name="Tyrawa_2017">[https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmicb.2018.02137/full Traditional Norwegian Kveik Are a Genetically Distinct Group of Domesticated Saccharomyces cerevisiae Brewing Yeasts.

The exact definition of the word "landrace" is debated in the Plant Sciences, and is therefore outside the scope of this wiki <ref>[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5296298 Toward an Evolved Concept of Landrace. Francesc Casañas, Joan Simó, Joan Casals, and Jaime Prohens. 2017.]</ref>. The original owners of these yeasts pitch them at a wide variety of temperatures depending on the culture, anywhere from 5°C up to 40°C, but the majority being pitched at around body temperature. Some Finnish farmhouse brewers reported pitching their yeast at cooler temperatures (5-15°C).
