Omega Yeast - OYL-071 - Lutra Kveik

Lutra Kveik is the clean one in the family. It stays shockingly neutral even when fermented hot (90°F+), which is why a lot of brewers use it to make crisp “pseudo-lagers” or clean hop-forward beers in a fraction of the usual time.

This is "new school Kveik." This description will sound more like a clean American ale yeast. This strain is not estery even at high temps, not farmhousey, and not phenolic.

Best For Clean ales, pseudo-lagers, IPAs, and any style where you want minimal yeast character and fast turnaround.

In Practice Norwegian kveik strain built for speed and cleanliness. Performs well across a wide temperature range but is most useful when run warm for rapid, neutral fermentations. Great when you want the hops or malt to do the talking without extra yeast character.
