Non-Lager Styles with Lutra Kveik - Homebrew Talk The lutra was cold conditioning serving 11 days for this pic The kölsch had been conditioning 7 days Also worth noting the lutra went 4 points lower in attenuation The Lutra is on the left and Kölsch on the right Kölsch is visibly clearer already, even though the pics don't show it
Lutra grain to glass - Homebrew Talk My gut tells me that Lutra can shave 2-3 days off my usual process, which is usually one week to ferment and one week to condition (sometimes 2 weeks to condition) But it still needs time to flocc out, so trying to go grain to glass in a week would likely result in a fairly hazy beer for a few weeks at least
Omega Lutra yeast? - Homebrew Talk I second this The whole point of Lutra is that it’s “shockingly clean ” The whole point of intentionally underpitching is to the stress the yeast and encourage ester development Seems counterintuitive I really, really like the one beer I made with Lutra I pitched the whole pack, no starter, and doubled the yeast nutrient
Omega Lutra for West Coast IPA - Homebrew Talk At this point I cant taste anything from the yeast at all exactly like I would expect from US-05 at a cool fermentation temp I will say though Lutra took it's time at that temperature I think my next attempt going for the Chico yeast profile I'll try 80F This weekend I'll be brewing the pseudo-lager with the Lutra as well
Kveik Lutra vs US05 experiment - Homebrew Talk The Lutra nose is overipe banana mixed with overripe orange I want to say rotten but overripe seems more diplomatic Doesn't smell good The taste pretty much follows the nose The mouthfeel of the Lutra seems heavier more viscous and has a weird subtle sour twang The 05 is light, sweet and crisp with a subtle citrus character from the hops
Dried Lutra Kviek - Homebrew Talk I used Dried Lutra Kviek yeast in an 5 gallon extract IPA recipe that I had done a couple of times before I wanted to try it due to being able to ferment it at a room temperature of 74-76 degrees I have only one minifridge to use for temperature control, and that puts me buying store bought beer on a regular basis as I am waiting for the
General Attenuation Question: Lutra Kviek - Homebrew Talk I've used Lutra Kviek about 4 times other than the beers below and I seemed to have hit my other FG numbers accurately The last three batches I've made using using Lutra Kviek (dry) and a similar grain bill (Crisp Maris Otter as the principal) have all fermented out typically 005 above what was calculated by my brewing software
Holy Kveik! (Omega Lutra) - Homebrew Talk I put US-05 in one fermenter, but my local MoreBeer recommended using Omega Yeast Dried Lutra for a quicker fermentation to keg it up I pitched it last night around 8 PM and checked on it about 6 AM It looked like it was at full Krausen! (Note: I even had Fermcap in the fermenter) Well I went to work, and when I came home it was a COMPLETE mess!
Omega Lutra yeast? | Page 6 - Page 6 | Homebrew Talk However, I have to say that I may actually prefer the Lutra Oktoberfest--the keg emptied in record time in our house I will absolutely use this yeast again While 34 70 can be used at near-ale temps and does not seem to require typical lagering condition durations, especially under pressure, Lutra is easier, quicker and tastes fantastic
Slow bottle carbonation Lutra Kveik yeast issue? or temperature? I recently made a pair of 1 gallon batches using Lutra (my first try with the yeast) The beers were in the fermenter for 2 weeks before I got to bottling them For the sake of science I opened one after 4 or 5 days in the bottle It was well carbonated and tasted good enough for me to open a second
