'''Kveik''' ([https://soundcloud.com/andreas-misund-berntsen/kveik-pronounciation click here for pronunciation]) 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.

The term "kveik" does not refer to a style of beer, but only the yeast used in traditional Norwegian farmhouse brewing (Garshol has encouraged brewers brewing non-farmhouse styles with kveik to call them "X Style Beer Brewed with Kveik" or something similar; see [[Kveik#Terminology|Terminology]] for more information on suggested approaches to naming classic styles fermented with kveik <ref name="garshol_style" />). The word "kveik" is specifically used in the western part of Norway for family-owned, non-purified yeast, while other words such as "gjester" are used by central Norwegians, "gong" is used by locals in eastern Norway, "family yeast" is used by some Lithuanian brewers, and "hemjäst" is used by locals in Gotland.

Most farmhouse brewers have started buying their yeast, but some kveik cultures have been passed down from generations and inherited by modern farmhouse brewers in Norway who still use this yeast today and brew with traditional farmhouse methods. Much of the knowledge about kveik and historical farmhouse brewing in Norway has been researched and publicized by Lars Marius Garshol on his blog, ''[http://www.garshol.priv.no/blog/ Larsblog]'', and in the book ''Beer and Brewing Traditions in Norway'' by Odd Nordland (1969). In recent years kveik cultures have been sent to yeast labs for propagation and distribution to brewers around the world <ref name="larsblog_kveik">[http://www.garshol.priv.no/blog/264.html Kveik: Norwegian farmhouse yeast. Larsblog. 11/07/2013. Retrieved 01/14/2016.]</ref>. The use of kveik is one of the many traditional methods still used by a few farmhouse brewers and homebrewers in Norway, along with other historical methods such as infusing the mash or boil with juniper(''Juniperus communis'' <ref>[http://www.garshol.priv.no/blog/368.html Lars Marius Garshol. "The juniper mystery". Larsblog blog. 02/02/2017. Retrieved 12/13/2018.]</ref>), not filtering, using short fermentations to achieve low carbonation, the use of wood-fired copper or iron kettles, and sometimes not boiling the wort ([[Kveik#Raw_Ale|Raw Ale]]) <ref>[http://www.garshol.priv.no/blog/303.html Maltøl, or Norwegian farmhouse ale. Larsblog. 10/11/2016. Retrieved 01/14/2016.]</ref>. Kveik can also be used effectively to ferment a wide range of non-farmhouse styles, such as New England IPA and English beer styles, as well as cider, mead, and mash/wash for distillation. Farmhouse yeasts from other countries such as Lithuania and Russia have been found to be both genetically different and express different fermentation profiles than the kveik yeasts of Norway, and are therefore not referred to as "kveik". See the [[Landrace_Yeast|Farmhouse Yeasts in Other Countries]] page and [https://www.garshol.priv.no/blog/420.html "Farmhouse yeast: what do we know?"] by Lars Marius Garshol.  For a comprehensive list of kveik and other landrace farmhouse yeasts, see the [http://www.garshol.priv.no/download/farmhouse/kveik.html Farmhouse Yeast Registry maintained by Lars Garshol]. <blockquote>''"I see this is about to become a myth, so just to clear things up: [http://www.garshol.priv.no/blog/380.html kveik is '''not''' a style of beer].

Kveik was passed down from generation to generation within the family, and also shared among fellow brewers in the region. At one time In this way, kveik was evolved differently than the only available form of two major beer yeast genetic groups that are used in industrialized brewing. While mostly POF-, a trait that is selected for in Norway (andmany beer yeast strains that prevents the yeast from producing 4-vinylguaiacol phenol, other traits are reflective of course, similar methods for reusing how this yeast were was used all over by traditional farmhouse brewers of the world region. For example, as far back as 1621 (and probably prior ), kveik was often stored dry on wooden logs called "kveikstokker" for up to Emil Chr. Hansen's introduction a year or longer before being re-used in a new batch of beer (the pureprocess of re-using yeast system from batch to batch is known as "backslopping" in 1883)brewing<ref>[https://mmbr.asm.

DOI: 10.1128/MMBR.00060-12.]</ref>). Kveik was typically inoculated directly into the wort by submerging the kveikstokker into the wort at least30-40°C. TodayThe wort was often high gravity of around 1.080 SG, kveik is only used by homebrewers who still brew in and the traditional methods beer was served just after 1-3 days of Norwegian fermentation beginning at this hot inoculation temperature (this was also the case for most farmhouse brewers throughout Europe even though kveik was limited to Norway, indicating that most landrace/farmhouse brewing yeast was fermented this way) <ref name="larsblog_norwegian_farmhouse">[httphttps://www.garsholtandfonline.priv.nocom/doi/blogabs/25910.html Norwegian farmhouse ale1080/03610470.

If the kveik went sour or died, brewers would borrow kveik from their neighbors, which was another way of preserving kveik through the centuries. Kveik was sometimes also used to ferment bread. Farmers seemed to have different preferences for top or bottom collecting their kveik It has been proposed by Preiss et al. (2018) that this treatment has produced yeast strains that are genetically distinct phenotypically from other domesticated yeast strains used in industrial brewing in Europe <ref name="larsblog_kveikTyrawa_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.

Farmers seemed to have different preferences for top or bottom collecting their kveik for storage <ref name="larsblog_kveik"></ref>. Kveik was stored in many ways. It was often stored in bottles with water or in a well. It was also dried on straw rings, on linen, or pieces of wood with holes drilled through them called "yeast logs". Often ashes were used to help dry the kveik quickly, or in the case of yeast logs, were lowered into the fermentation vessel to collect the yeast and then rolled in flour and allowed to dry for a few minutes, then dipped again to repeat the process. The log was then hung to dry. Although dried kveik was said to last for months or maybe longer, fresh kveik was always preferred, and often given away to those who needed new kveik (moldy kveik was thrown away) <ref name="larsblog_kveik"></ref>. At one time kveik was the only available form of yeast in Norway (and, of course, similar methods for reusing yeast were used all over the world prior to Emil Chr. Hansen's introduction of the pure-yeast system in 1883). However, the existence of kveik has mostly disappeared in recent times. Today kveik remains in the districts of Hardanger, Voss, Sogn, Nordfjord, and Sunnmøre, at least. Kveik is only used by homebrewers who still brew in the traditional methods of Norwegian farmhouse brewing, although the recent spreading of kveik throughout the world has led to a resurgence in its usage to make various types of beer, including non-farmhouse style beers <ref name="larsblog_norwegian_farmhouse">[http://www.garshol.priv.no/blog/259.html Norwegian farmhouse ale.

The exact number of strains that is present in a given kveik culture is difficult to analyze; generally labs with better equipment and more time can identify more strains than others. Some kveik cultures contain multiple strains of closely related strains of ''S. cerevisiae'', while others contain a more diverse group of strains <ref name="garshol_preiss_mbaa" />. The kveik cultures with closely related strains defy what a "strain" isolate is; Richard Preiss describes these kveik cultures as being "heterogenous but related communities", meaning that there can be a lot of genetic overlap between subpopulations in a kveik culture and where one strain begins and another ends is not possible to define <ref name="preiss_strains" />.

Of the 9 kveik cultures analyzed by Preiss et al. (2018), only Muri (which has since been found to be commercially available Bavarian Weizen yeast and not a landrace farmhouse yeast at all; see [[Landrace Yeast]]), Simonaitis, and Stranda contained only one strain of ''S. cerevisiae'', while all of the others contained more than one strain of ''S. cerevisiae'' up to 9 strains in the case of Granvin (see [https://www.frontiersin.org/files/Articles/409253/fmicb-09-02137-HTML-r1/image_m/fmicb-09-02137-t001.jpg this table from the paper]).

As with Preiss (2018), the only species of yeast found was ''S. cerevisiae''.

The closest related domesticated strains were 3 German hefeweizen strains; however, this relation is likely just due to both groups being hybrids rather than having any historic relation <ref name="Tyrawa_2017" />. None of the kveik strains sequenced by Preiss et al. (2018) contained the STA1 gene for diastatic activity, which is expected since all of the diastatic yeasts belong to the "Beer 2" group <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/2445690998792433/?comment_id=2446266075401592&reply_comment_id=2446269382067928&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R5%22%7D Richard Preiss.

The two groups of kveik probably originated from two ancestors that were hybrids between a "Beer 1" yeast and wild yeast. Interestingly, the kveik cultures that have multiple strains have strains from both genetic groups of kveik. For example, Hornindal, Granvin, Laerdal, and Stordal Ebbergarden all contained strains from both genetic groups of kveik. Overall, their genetic diversity is wider than the genetic diversity of other "Beer 1" subgroups <ref name="Tyrawa_2017" />.

(2018) also measured the fermentation characteristics of individual kveik strains in their study, the first published data in this regard for kveik. At 86°F (30°C) they found that 11 of the 24 pure strains of kveik outperformed the best control strain (WLP002) in fermentation rate. There was still a very wide range of attenuation rates between the kveik strains (60-90%). Of the 6 strains that had their DNA sequenced, all but one of the Granvin strains fermented maltotriose. All of the strains tested were POF- (meaning they did not produce significant 4-vinylguaiacol phenol). One of these Stordal Ebbegarden strains also contained a unique mutation on the ''FDC1'' gene that results in the inability to produce phenols and has not been reported before in science. They also found that kveik strains tend to produce fatty acid esters at levels that are typical for other domesticated yeast strains, such as ethyl caproate (pineapple, tropical; threshold 0.21 ppm), ethyl caprylate (tropical, apple, cognac; threshold 0.9 ppm), and ethyl decanoate (apple; threshold 0.2 ppm). The kveik strains studied did not produce high levels of the isoamyl acetate ester (banana) and generally lower levels of the fusel alcohol isobutanol compared WLP001 and WLP002. Strangely, 5 of the 6 strains that were analyzed could form spores, which is not typical for brewers yeast <ref name="Tyrawa_2017" />. The kveik strains studied by Preiss et al. (2018) displayed unique abilities as far as withstanding stress in their environment. Most of the strains at least doubled their growth at 43°C and grew to their maximum potential at 40°C, while the control strains WLP001, WLP002, and WLP029 showed limited growth at those temperatures. This demonstrates kveik's ability to withstand high-temperature fermentations. All strains tested died at 45°C <ref name="Tyrawa_2017" />.  Kveik strains were also demonstrated by Preiss et al. (2018) to have a higher tolerance to alcohol than some of the domesticated strains tested (WLP001, WLP002, and WLP029), as well as unique flocculation characteristics. Most of the kveik strains doubled in growth in media with 14% ABV ethanol, and about half of them doubled in growth in 16% ABV ethanol media. Half of the strains of kveik were highly flocculant, but some other strains were very poor flocculators. It is possible that since kveik is a mixed culture of several strains of yeast that the highly flocculant strains assist the others in flocculation thus diminishing for the other strains to evolve flocculation properties <ref name="Tyrawa_2017" />.  See also:* [http://www.garshol.priv.no/blog/391.html "Where kveik comes from", an analysis of the Preiss et al. study by Lars Marius Garshol.]* [https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/2277955402232661/ MTF thread post by Richard Preiss summarizing the study's findings.]

The general flavor profile of kveik yeast is ester-driven and non-phenolic, although a wide range of subtle differences can exist between strains.

Despite the fast fermentation timeframe that traditional farmhouse brewers employ and the high flocculation that some kveik have, some kveik and some beer styles/brewing conditions may still require or benefit from a more traditional brewing schedule. For example, some kveik may need more time to clean up diacetyl or hydrogen sulfide, to flocculate or settle out completely, or to completely finish attenuation.

Kveik mixed cultures tend to be very flocculant, even though only about 48% of the individual strains are highly flocculant (it is thought that high flocculating strains help the lower flocculating strains to flocculate). Top-harvested kveik form a thick krausen and tends to float on top of liquid even when stored in the fridge, while bottom-harvested kveik tends to form a thin layer of krausen (see the [http://www.omegayeastgarshol.compriv.no/ Omega Yeast Labsdownload/farmhouse/kveik.html Farmhouse yeast registry] describes their two isolates to see which kveik cultures are top vs bottom harvested; the listed harvesting method should be continued so as being non-phenolic and fruityto continue to select for the correct strains).

Kveik cultures make identifying individual strains within them difficult because the strains are closely related and there is often not a clear distinction between "strains", nor is there a clear definition of what makes a strain truly unique within the total population of strains that are found in a single kveik culture. Richard Preiss describes kveik cultures as being "heterogenous but related communities", meaning that there can be a lot of genetic overlap between subpopulations in a kveik culture. What exactly is meant by "strain" within the context of kveik cultures has not been defined, and so discussing individual strains of kveik is an inadequate way of discussing kveik <ref name="preiss_strains">[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/2593762590651939/?comment_id=2593908627304002&reply_comment_id=2594146987280166&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D Richard Preiss and Lars Garshol.

Richard Preiss from [[Escarpment Laboratories]] shared his sensory notes after doing trial fermentations with various kveik strains/cultures. Fermentations were at 30°C in standard wort (1.050, 20IBU) with single strains, not the mixed cultures. 2/3 tasters were blind to the beers and order prior to tasting.

Note regarding Granvin strains: Preiss is still trying to sort out which Granvin yeasts are duplicates and which are unique. ====Unpurified/Mixed Cultures vs Single Isolates====While brewers have made many claims about the difference of unpurified kveik cultures compared to single isolates offered by yeast labs, little work has been done so far to differentiate the effects of pitching original unpurified cultures of kveik versus lab isolates. This is mostly due to the complexity of these mixed cultures, which makes it difficult to study in a laboratory setting. Dr. Maitreya Dunhman noted during a laboratory study on yeast repitching that repitching unpurified or mixed strains of kveik led to at least one observable effect, which is that the strains do not appear to out-compete each other. Normally, when two strains are combined and repitched, one strain tends to rise to dominate the population over the other strains in the population. This was not the case with kveik, which indicates some sort of mutual benefit between strains within the original kveik mixed cultures <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPHwItOxuK0 Dr. Maitreya Dunham. Interview on Escarpment Labs YouTube channel. 08/18/2021.]</ref>(~44:30 mins in). ====Final Beer pH==== Kveik also tend to finish beers at a slightly low pH than conventional ale yeast and lager yeast. In a survey of data from around 60 strains of yeast total, Escarpment Labs showed that kveik strains on average finished around 4.25 final beer pH while conventional ale/lager yeast strains finished on average around 4.50 final beer pH for the same wort. This can have an impact on the overall sensory nature of kveik. For example, a lower pH is sometimes associated with the perception of a thinner body as well as a harsher and more astringent hop character. The use of buffering minerals in the mash such as baking soda, lime, or chalk, can help adjust the pH back up if desired <ref>[https://www.escarpmentlabs.com/single-post/2019/10/20/Crispy-brewing-with-kveik Richard Preiss.

Fermentation conducted with unpurified original kveik cultures may have different results than single isolate strains. For example, [https://nmbu.brage.unit.no/nmbu-xmlui/handle/11250/2681970?show=full Nadia Marlen Aasen's Master's thesis from Norwegian University of Life Sciences] found that the same wort (Weyermann Pilsner malt, 60 minute Magnum hops at 18 IBU, and the wort soaked in 1 kg of juniper twigs per 10 liters of wort) fermented with US-05 finished between 3.8-4.0 pH, Ørjasæter kveik finished at 4.1-4.2 pH, Gamlegrua kveik finished at 4.1-4.3, and Gausemel kveik finished at 3.8-4.0 pH <ref name="Aasen" />.  See also:* [https://www.escarpmentlabs.com/single-post/2019/10/20/Crispy-brewing-with-kveik "Crispy brewing with kveik: mind the pH gap," by Richard Preiss at Escarpment Labs.]

(2022)] compared propagation characteristics between WLP001 (California Ale Yeast), WLP830 (German Lager Yeast), and Håken HveemWLP518 (Opshaug kveik), and Norwegian farmhouse brewers Svein Rivenesusing modern yeast propagation methods (12.5°P wort, 25°C temperature, Sigmund Gjernes14.7 grams of yeast nutrient, Bjarne Muriconstant aeration, Terje Raftevoldrecirculated with a pump, and otherswith a total propagation time of 26 hours). The study measured attenuation, FAN consumption, final cell density, and final biomass production. They found that Opshaug did not uptake FAD any differently than the ale and lager yeasts. Opshaug had slightly less attenuation. They found that Opshaug kveik has been made commercially available to brewers around had a higher cell density than the worldale and lager strain (~803 million cells per mL, versus ~461 million cells per mL for WLP001 and ~593 million cells per mL for WLP830).

The strains were fermented at 20ºC (the lab would have preferred to ferment at a warmer temperature, but this was a part of a much larger fermentation experiment with many other brewing strains and they were limited due to limited temperature control equipment). The pitch tested rates were:# '''1 M/mL''' (1 million cells per mL, 10% of a typical pitch rate)# '''7 M/mL''' (7 million cells per mL, 70% of a typical pitch rate)# '''10 M/mL''' (10 million cells per mL, a typical pitch rate) They monitored specific gravity, FAN consumption, pH change, alcohol/glycerol production, and aroma compound production (using GC-MS). All ferments were performed in triplicate. Their major findings are listed as follows: * A low pitching rate of 1 million cells/mL attenuated the sample slightly slower than the higher pitching rates, but all pitching rates resulted in a similar finishing gravity, including the Vermont Ale yeast. The kveik fermented faster than other brewer's yeast even at the lower fermentation temperature.* There were no clear trends as far as how much FAN was consumed by the kveik based on pitching rate, although Årset and Vermont Ale yeast consumed less FAN for the lowest pitching rate. They concluded that high FAN levels are recommended, especially for lower gravity wort.* Terminal pH was lower for Årset and Ebbegarden, and a little higher for the other strains (~4.15 versus ~4.4); however, pitching rate did not correlate to any patterns.* No discernible trend in over all ester production depending on pitch rate, although there were some differences depending on ester type and kveik.* Kveik produce more organic acids than Vermont Ale yeast, duplicating results from the previous Escarpment Labs study on kveik.* Årset and Ebbegarden produced citronellol at levels similar to Vermont Ale yeast, which indicates that these cultures might be capable of biotransformation similar to the Vermont Ale strain.* There was a trend for increased aroma intensity for some of the kveiks (Voss and Hornindal) as the pitch rate decreases.

They were also higher than the optimal growth of US-05. The cultures tended to reach peak cell growth at around day 2 or 3, and then experienced a slight decline until day 7, with this decline after day 2 or 3 being slightly steeper at the hotter incubation temperature of 37°C. The warmer incubation temperature of 37°C did not result in faster growth than the cooler temperatures of 22°C and/or 30°C. Therefore, for optimal growth of kveik for starters or yeast labs, a temperature of 22°C or 30°C might be optimal for some kveik cultures <ref name="Aasen" />. [https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.07.26.453768v1 Foster et al. (2021)] found that not only do kveik strains grow faster at higher temperatures, but they generally also survive better than typical brewing yeasts at 35-42°C. It was first postulated by the researchers that this could be due to higher glycerol production in kveik strains versus regular brewing strains, but the researchers found the kveik strains produced generally the same amount of glycerol as regular brewing strains. The researchers then discovered that the tested kveik strains produced much higher levels of trehalose, which is a carbohydrate used by yeast (and other organisms like frogs) to protect cells from freezing/thawing and higher temperatures. Unlike other brewing strains which break down trehalose at the end of fermentation, kveik keeps it. This might be at least one reason why kveik strains are able to tolerate higher temperatures (there may be other currently unknown qualities of kveik that also assist with temperature tolerance), as well as why they can tolerate drying. It might also explain why kveik begins to ferment so quickly in fresh wort. Trehalose stores also cause yeast to not take up maltotriose, and this might explain why kveik strains tend not to consume maltotriose <ref name="Foster_2021">[https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.07.26.453768v1 Kveik brewing yeasts demonstrate wide flexibility in beer fermentation temperature and flavour metabolite production and exhibit enhanced trehalose accumulation.

===Bjarne Muri[https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.07.26.453768v1 Foster et al. (2021)] published similar findings for 6 strains of kveik. All 6 strains tested (two Hornindal strains, one Laerdal strain, one Ebbegarden strain, one Granvin strain, and one Sigmund Voss strain) attenuated efficiently between 22 and 40°C. With the exception of Hornindal2, Ebbegarden, and Leardal strains, the other three kveik strains also performed well at 42°C. In comparison, none of the control strains (Cal ale, Vermont, Kolsch, and "St. Lucifer" from Escarpment Labs) attenuated well at 42°C. Out of the control strains, only the "St. Lucifer" from Escarpment Labs was able to attenuate at 40°C. This demonstrates kveiks's Olden Kveik==unique properties of being thermotolerant. The kveik strains were also generally able to ferment at lower temperatures. While most kveik strains attenuated similar to the Vermont and "St. Lucifer" controls at 15°C, Hornindal1 and Laerdal completed fermentations similar to the Kölsch and Cali strains. In addition, Hornindal1 completed a 12°C fermentation within 10 days. Overall, the kveik strains had a shorter lag phase and faster fermentation rates over a wide range of temperatures between 15-42°C, and they generally consumed glucose and maltose faster than the control strains at each of their optimal fermentation temperatures. With the exception of one of the Hornindal strains, maltotriose consumption slowed at the cooler temperatures (12°C) and was fastest with the Hornindal strains between 30-42°C. The Laerdal strain was inefficient at fermenting maltotriose (~50%) at all fermentation temperatures. In contrast, while the control strains could efficiently ferment maltotriose at their optimal fermentation temperatures (22-30°C), they were less efficient than the kveik strains outside of their optimal fermentation temperatures, once again demonstrating that some kveik strains can attenuate wort at a wider range of fermentation temperatures (both warmer and cooler) than some traditional ale strains <ref name="Foster_2021" />.

===Stein Langlo=Temperature and Aromatic and Sensory Compounds====Just as with other strains of ''Saccharomyces cerevisiae'' used in fermentation, the fermentation temperature can have a significant effect on the different aromatic and flavor compounds produced by kveik. [https://nmbu.brage.unit.no/nmbu-xmlui/handle/11250/2681970?show=full Aasen's Stranda Kveik==Master's thesis] looked at fermenting three different full culture kveiks, Gamlegrua, Gausemel and Ørjasæter, and US-05 as a control. She tested three different fermentation temperatures, 22°C, 30°C, and 37°C. In general, after 7 days of incubation time, all of the yeasts had higher levels of the esters ethyl acetate, isoamyl acetate,and ethyl hexanoate at the 22°C or 30°C, and nearly half the amounts of esters at 37°C. These were esters were also measured at day 2, and at that time they were much higher in the 37°C fermentation, suggesting that prolonged exposure to the warmer temperature may have dissipated these esters. Ethyl octanoate tended to have slightly higher amounts at 22°C or 30°C, but the differences between the different fermentation temperatures were smaller, and in the case of the Gausemel kveik there was no significant different at all for this ester <ref name="Aasen" />.

Terje's [https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.07.26.453768v1 Foster et al. (2021)] found similar findings in 5 out of 6 strains of kveik (two Hornindal strains, one Laerdal strain, one Ebbegarden strain, one Granvin strain, and one Sigmund Voss strain). Using HS-SPME-GC-MS and PCA biplot analyses to measure and plot fatty acids, ethyl esters, alcohols, and acetate esters, the researchers found that, with the exception of the Ebbegarden strain, the kveik strains grouped together while the control strains (Cal ale, Vermont, and Kolsch) grouped together (the Belgian strain "St. Lucifer" from Escarpment Labs was mixed with 2-3 other kveiksanother control strain and formed its own flavor profile grouping). For example, octanoic acid, ethyl hexanoate (pineapple, tropical), ethyl octanoate (tropical, apple, cognac), and ethyl decanoate (apple) were all produced above threshold for all (except Ebbegarden) of the kveik strains and one control strain, the Belgian strain "St. Lucifer" from Escarpment Labs, but not the Cal ale, Vermont, and Kolsch control strains. This probably explains demonstrates that the wider variety flavor profile of isolated many but not all kveik strains is unique from at least some typical brewing strains. It The flavor profile plotting also contains bacteriadetermined that temperature played a roll in flavor with all but the Ebbegarden kveik strains clustering together at 5-42°C versus 15-22°C. For example, ethyl octanoate and these bacteria seem to be contributing positively to ethyl decanoate were produced at the higher temperature range in the aroma kveik strains (except Ebbegarden). The higher alcohol 1-octanol, which has a pleasant citrus character, was only produced above threshold by Cal ale and Kolsch at 15°C and Vermont at 22°C, it was produced above threshold by the kveiks and St. Lucifer strains at a much wider temperature range. Similar results were found for isoamyl acetate. Phenethyl acetate, on the other hand, was only produced above threshold by Hornindal1, Hornindal2, Laerdal and they don't sour St. Lucifer regardless of temperature <ref name="Foster_2021" />.

===Sigurd Johan Saure's Sykkylven kveikUsing Dried Kveik and Viability Over Time===

Originates with brewer Sigurd Johan SaureDried kveik should be stored in the freezer, at Tormodgarden and has been known to be recoverable after 20 years when stored in Aurdal this way. While recovery of very old dried kveik may be possible using microbiological techniques, very old dried kveik might not be viable enough for brewers to revive using simple starter techniques. [http://suigenerisbrewing.com/index.php/2019/08/28/drying-kveik-the-grand-finale Microbiologist Dr. Bryan Heit measured the viability of kveik] that was dried using a dehydrator and stored in Sykkylvena home freezer and found that viability decreased by about 6-8% per month. Dr. Heit estimated (and then later confirmed via cell counts) that at 6 months, the kveik would be at about 50% viability, which is good enough to pitch directly into wort without a starter. Sigurd says Therefore, if the yeast kveik has definitely been reused since his greatfrozen for 6 months or less, dried kveik can be thawed and simply added to a liter or so of ~30°C (86°F) wort for 2-great-grandfather's time4 hours before adding that to the main batch of wort. If the dried kveik is older than 6 months, a starter is recommended. Dr. His great-grandfather mixed it with another Heit used Voss kveik for his experiment, and included some limitations such as sample size, using kveik from a yeast cake instead of using fresher yeast from top cropping or a starter, using a yeast cake with a friend in the 1950shigh hop content (while hops are not toxic to yeast, after a high content of hops could further stress the yeast ), using a dehydrator that had high and fluctuating temperatures instead of a better quality dehydrator (Dr. Heit recommends drying at 35-40°C), and probable under-estimates of viability due to using trypan blue dye, which is known to stain both dead cells and cells that are alive but are undergoing cell division <ref name="got weakgarshol_preiss_mbaa"/><ref>[http://suigenerisbrewing.com/index.

From Petter B Øvrebust at ==Commercial Availability==This is a neighbouring farm summary of commercially available kveik cultures. See the above descriptions, the [http://www.garshol.priv.no/download/farmhouse/kveik.html Farmhouse Yeast Registry], and the vendor's website for more information about the cultures. Most are single strain isolates, while some contain multiple strains or the native "unpurified" mixed cultures (this is of interest to some brewers, especially Norwegian brewers, because single isolates potentially perform differently than original cultures with multiple strains and as such will be denoted in Stordalthe Notes column). Collected by William Holden Note that strain information can be misleading because the nature of kveik cultures make talking about individual strains difficult due to the strains being closely related yet diverse. Petter still brews raw ale Richard Preiss describes kveik cultures as being "heterogenous but related communities", pitches at 30Cmeaning that there can be a lot of genetic overlap between subpopulations in a kveik culture and where one strain begins and another ends has yet to be defined (see [[Kveik#Recent_Yeast_Lab_Analysis_and_Commercial_Availability|Recent Lab Analysis]] above) <ref name="preiss_strains" />. Additionally, it is legal and quite common for yeast labs to culture strains from another yeast lab and brand them as their own, ferments 2thus many single isolates are likely to be duplicates of whichever lab initially isolated them (this is unverifiable unless the yeast lab in question shares how they obtained their isolate or independent DNA sequencing is done; we include such information when it is available to us). Commercially available non-3 dayskveik landrace farmhouse yeast are listed on the [[Landrace Yeast]] page.

===Jarle Nupen, EidsdalLandrace Yeast In Other Countries===There are farmhouse yeasts in other countries and Norway that have survived for generations, similar to kveik, but are genetically distinct from kveik. Since the term "kveik" refers to just Norwegian farmhouse yeast, the term "landrace yeast" has been proposed to refer to farmhouse yeasts as a category of yeast. Non-kveik landrace yeast includes yeasts from Lithuania and Russia such as Simonaitis, Rima, and Jovaru Alus, as well as the Norwegian farmhouse yeast Muri which is not genetically related to any kveik strains.

Jarle brought this kveik to the Kornøl Festival, where he gave it to Lars Marius Garshol'''See [[Landrace Yeast]] for more information and commercially available cultures. Jarle originally got the yeast from Tore Hjelle in Eidsdal in 1979-1980, so the yeast comes from Eidsdal. Jarle has kept the yeast ever since, and he says "I've watched it like gold." Jarle pitches at 31 degrees, and doesn't want the fermentation to go above 36 degrees. He ferments roughly 30 hours.'
