How to Brew a Voss Kveik Pale Ale

On this brew day I made a Pale Ale using one of my favourite yeast Voss Kveik!

This is a companion to my last grain to glass video where I brewed a pale ale using Lutra Kveik yeast.

I love how British you seem to be. Like a garden sounds wonderful compared to my Arizona backyard.

I've liked and subscribed. Thank you for your illustrative videos, you deserve much more attention. I mean it.

Am loving the desperate plea to watch the previous video. Am going to to watch it now.

For pH, I use the calculators on Brewers friend to build my water (I use RO water and build from there) to achieve whatever pH I aim for. I've gotten to using acidulated malts for pH control with great results. During the mash I do check my pH, but honestly the calculators are generally spot on.

I enjoy your vids. I watched the elderflower one when it came out, enjoyed that too.... But didn't seek out elderflower because reasons.

Keep the vids coming, I do look out for yours every few weeks.

Great video ! I don’t know your channel but I’ll check it !
For your little ph concern, I work in a brewery and we adjust ph everyday, we shoot for the adjustments before mashing with acid malt and tcheck it to insure that we don’t need more acid, if it needs more acid we add lactic acid at the sparge.
So no we are not hitting the numbers all the time, it kinda fluctuates with seasons and malt lots ( our malt lots are changing every month.)
We also see our ph going up in the summer witch needs more correction

I just kegged a pale ale with Voss. Used citra, cascade and lemon drop hops to make it a citrusy pale ale. Really nice! As for PH, I started using acidulated malt and have the amount down to end somewhere in the sweet range of 5.2-5.4!

Great videos, do keep em coming

[jimbeefish]

Keep them vids coming like your style 👍

Hi Daryl. I watched the elderflower video, thought about it to pass the time, but the elder trees here are on the main road. Your's should go down well with the weather ahead. I've just finished brewing my first SMaSH, Maris Otter and Citra hops with Kveik Voss (temperatures in the flat will be 30C+ in the next week), just sealed the fermenter 10 minutes ago. Pitched at 35C and hopefully a week will be enough. I have just started to look into pH and used lactic acid to reduce to the optimum for this brew. I used bottled water for this, and using the water calculator on Brewers Friend I need to get some salts if I intend to carry on using this water. Changed the calculator to my local suply and it would have been bang on. Saving myself money on the next brew. Great video again.

Concerning pH: My intend is to get to a target mash pH to get a suitable environment for the enzymes. Therefore, I take a reading during the mash. My favorite brewing software Brewfather helps significantly to adjust my water profiles. Not just the pH with respect to the grain bill, but also Chloride/Sulfate ratio and other details to emphasize on hops or grain, whatever is best to match the style. I highly recommend looking at Brewfather if don’t know it yet. It’s free for small numbers of managed batches.

What’s the best PH. Mine is currently 5.35 without messing with it.

[jonathang.]

Well I watched your elderflower video. Great to see you brewing again. I don't agjust PH at all! And I'm happy (mostly) with my results. Maybe you should try one with and one without? See if you can tell the difference.

[BrewabitRick]

Mash out confuses me, ph I have a look before, during and sort of after I’m still winging it.Loving the end effects 😃😃😃😃😃👍🍻beer looks great 👍

Hi Daryl,
I have a question about your bottle condition with Kveik. What kind of sugar you use 🤔 and how long you keep bottles at room temperature and then you put it in the fridge or?

[matheosmattsson]

You have a nice head on that beer. My beers always seem to lack head... What do you prime with? I heard some year ago that that could be the difference...

[DrunkDelilahBrewery]

Your video mentioned Irish Moss 10 minutes in? You mean 10 mins before the end of boil right? 😂
