Big Sarlikus Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Hello once again. Looks like my attempt to make “A Day For It” rotm, gave me a lot of questions. And here another one. I wanna try a coldcrash but didn’t realise may I do it with kveik yeast or not. I mean kveik yeast love high temperatures, will they work in bottle after coldcrash? I’ll do a natural carbonation with dextrose. And in general will ale yeast work in natural carbonation after coldcrash, or it’s only work with kegging and forced carbonation? P.S. carbonation or carbonisation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.S. carbonation or carbonisation? The yeast doesn't die in a cold crash, it just goes to "sleep". After you bottled and temps go up again, the yeast will wake up and start eating the priming sugar. It may take a little longer due to Kveik liking it warm in order to do things but it should be ok. I haven't had any issues with bottle conditioning using Kveik, even after cold crashing. It is carbonation 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Sarlikus Posted February 25, 2022 Author Share Posted February 25, 2022 Thx, gonna try it. ATM the beer is very muddy, maybe because of dry hopping or the type of yeast 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 I haven't used kviek yeast but with anything else it doesn't affect carbonation as long as the bottles warm up again. Did it for years before I started kegging. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATM the beer is very muddy, maybe because of dry hopping or the type of yeast I just did 2 x kveik at 35° and both were what I consider 'muddy' as I am used to using Nottingham, which leaves a very clear beer. But 24 hours coming down to CC temp and they've cleared up considerably. You could try putting your bottles in a cupboard or small area with a low level heat source - maybe an electric blanket on '1' - to keep the temps up for the kveik to carb your brew. Ideally you should carb at the temp the yeast likes so it is most active. Maybe that's why some people have long carb times? They brew at a controlled (say) 20° but then stick it in a cupboard that drops to 15° or lower overnight? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
