aldorn

W sobotę próbowałem jedną z dwóch butelek z tej warki, odłożoną w czeluści piwniczne. Trochę się bałem, co wyjdzie, a raczej jak szybko wyjdzie z butelki, otwierałem na balkonie. Niepotrzebnie, żadnego przegazowania, sporo wędzonki, klarowność niczym kryształ, tylko trochę goryczka na zbyt małym poziomie. Nie dało się odczuć, że to lekkie jasne piwo ma te swoje już niemalże 4 lata.

Niby tak, ale te tak zwane VOSSy to izolowane wersje komercyjne, ich opisy są w dziale dla drożdży komercyjnych.

Z opisu wynika, że to jeden szczep drożdży i bez bakterii, komercyjnie powinien być to HotHead. Robiłem wiele razy, nie przegazowały się (za wyjątkiem ostatniej warki gdzie weszła infekcji i poza przegazowaniem piwo nie było klarowne). Dają radę nawet w 11-12 stopniach, zrobiłem mały test: podczas fermentacji przeniosłem fermentor do chłodnej piwnicy i dojadły.

Jak na moje doświadczenia, to one bardzo podkręcają aromaty odchmielowe, komponuje się z amerykańskimi chmielami. Poza tym, da się zauważyć lekka kwasowość, w zasadzie jeśli moje obserwacje się potwierdzą, to kwasowość jest tym większa im niższy baling i niższa temperatura fermentacji.

#36 Gardsøy Owner Edel Aas Collected by Edel Aas Place Vågå Attenuation 76 % Phenolic Y Kveik N Bacteria N Species Saccharomyces cerevisiae Strains 3 Permissions All rights reserved by owner Provenance: From a yeast ring in a storehouse on the farm of Gardsøy in Vågå, where Anne Øy (dead 1970) used it. Revived by Edel Aas. Not certain if it's the original yeast. Initial fingerprinting indicates it is more closely related to wild yeast than to anything else, and not kveik.

It had been standing, dried, in the basement for 25 years, but was revived, we think successfully. He got it from his father, and where his father got it from he doesn't know.

#30 Markjene Owner Rasmus S. Otterdal Collected by Lars Marius Garshol Place Otterdalen, Hornindal Can be dried Y Wort boiled N Preservation Dried flakes in cellar Provenance: Their own yeast had gone sour, so they tried yeast from many different sources. He doesn't remember any more which one this was. It's probably different from #23, because they had changed kveik by this time.

Before that he used it on the farm Løvoll in Eidsdal. He inherited the yeast from his father, and he says his grandfather (Karl A. Løvoll, 1870-1953) used the same yeast. He asks that anyone selling it please use the name 'Karl A' for the yeast.

#28 Halvorsgard Owner Bjarne Halvorsgard Collected by Lars Marius Garshol Place Ål Pitch 32.0°C Phenolic Variable Can be dried Y Harvest top Fermentation time 72 hours Species Saccharomyces cerevisiae Strains 6 Wort boiled Y Preservation Dried Provenance: He doesn't know where the yeast comes from. As far as he knows it's always been on the farm. They have often exchanged yeast with Sverre Skrindo, so this may be the same as #27.

His father may have it from the farm Skrindo, or it may have been on the current farm (Krosshaug) all along. He's not sure. They have often exchanged yeast with Halvorsgard, so this may be the same as #28. Sometimes they got yeast from Torstein Jordet in nearby Oppheim.
