Norwegian Yeasts. Just Kveik It!
Normal yeast require temperatures at about 55 to 75 degrees. Pushing the temps higher will cause off flavors and potentially kill the yeast. On the other hand, Kveik yeasts can ferment at temperatures as high as 98 degrees without producing off flavors or killing the yeast. This is a boon to home brewers without temperature control systems during warmer weather.
If you want to learn more about the Norwegian yeast craze, check out the article “Rise of the Super Yeast: Will an ancient Norwegian yeast revolutionize American craft beer?”.
We also highly recommend you check out the Kveik strains at Omega Yeast! Hornindal, Voss Kveik and HotHead kveik strains have an incredibly wide ferm temp range (as high as 98°F) and desirable, clean esters that make them great any time of year, but KEY for brewing in summer heat. Fermenting in the 90s can achieve wildly speedy fermentation with NO off-flavors. Check out some recipes here.
