Thank you, I've only watched the first few minutes but I'll see the rest later. Looks interesting!

I'm a newbie who has never used anything apart from kveik, so I can't say much about how it compares to normal yeast. Here is my 2p on using and harvesting it: I can't say much about beer character since I'm still experimenting with my processes. What I can say is that I've produced some very...

I use the oh so scientific method of seeing where the flour has settled, turning the bag so that side is uppermost, and then slapping it like crazy until the flour has disappeared into the middle of the bag. Seems to work, at least for 1-3kg bags. Also the whole "you need to use it within six...

Big 5L and 4L jugs. Measure with them, ferment in them, use them to hold sanitiser, the list goes on. The 4L ones are great for sanitising long things. I'm fermenting tiny 3-4L SMaSH batches in them. They are great for this. Sturdy enough to pour the wort into while it's still boiling. If...
