[Rodcx500z]

Hi good people quick ? i am just doing a brew and will be using slurry from my last kveik brew ? is when can i add my nutrient it's the wilko one cheers

 

[The Baron]

I have used it Rod with ordinary yeasts no problem but still in my infancy with Kveik but would think its that vicious it may not need it

 

[Rodcx500z]

Hi Mr Baron, i am using slurry and just wondered when to use it in the boil or in the fv

 

[cushyno]

10 minutes from the end of the boil. Not sure how much to add, though I'd have thought about a tablespoon of you have that much available.

H Rod less of the Mr
I am just The Baron

 

[Rodcx500z]

Cheers Cushy, i will try that

 

[cushyno]

Oops! Ignore me. My advice is for using slurry as your nutrient!

 

[cushyno]

Cheers Cushy, i will try that

I don't know about the Wilco nutrient.

 

[Rodcx500z]

Ok Baron

 

[The Baron]

I still think even with using slurry it will be vicious but add it in the last 10 of the boil as Cushyno says or the FV

 

[Rodcx500z]

no i am using slurry as the yeast, but i am sure i read somewere to use nutrient

 

[The Baron]

Well you know how we find things out Rod (by experiment)then report back how it goes

 

[Rodcx500z]

Ok Baron i will go with last 10 minutes cheers guys

 

[cushyno]

Yes, with repitching kveik it is beneficial to use nutrient.

 

[Rodcx500z]

Will post later when the yeast takes off

Thanks for that Cushyno I am still in my infancy with Kveik as well as Rod

I've read that kveik does require a nutrient addition. I've also read that you can use old yeast, ie, slurry as nutrient added towards the end of the boil. I've never tried that. I've started using a teaspoon per 20 litres of "chemical" nutrient (diammonium phisphate and ammonium sulphate) to every brew. I use to get a number of fermentations which inexplicably started to stink. Even though the smell would clean up after a period of conditioning, sometimes it would take months. Since I started adding a bit of nutrient, I've never had the problem again.
I add the nutrient with the yeast.

All done 19L in the fv yeast pitched at 35c i am now awaiting the kveik explosion and having a saison

 

[Rodcx500z]

Quick update, it's off like a rocket 4 hours after pitching
