When I receive them I’ll propagate them for you guys. If anybody else want some lmk. I also have Omega Hothead (stranda strain) and Omega Voss (I don't have it in hand yet).
Here’s the info of the strains I’ll have
Hornindal (Raftevold)A selection of two strains from Terje Raftevold's Hornindal Kveik. The blend shows mixed fruity character ranging from tropical fruit to red apple, with supporting notes of caramel. We recommend warm fermentation temperatures (>25şC), highly fermentable wort and yeast nutrients to ensure complete attenuation. The traditional Norwegian beers are quite malty by comparison to typical ales. Alcohol tolerance: high
Temp range: 25-35
Floc: med-high
Attenuation: 70-80
Simonaitis (Joniškelis, Lithauen)"One yeast has been collected from farmhouse brewer Julius Simonaitis in Joniškelis, Lithuania. It's a communal yeast that's been shared among the neighbours since time immemorial. NCYC says the yeast consists of 5 different strains. Four of these are closely related, while the fifth is quite different, and is probably a completely different strain. All seem to be Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Julius pitches the yeast at 35C, and top-harvests it. He ferments 12-16 hours, depending on activity.
People trading this culture have reported that there are lactic acid bacteria present in the culture. It is not known if this lactic acid bacteria was present from the source, or if it was introduced during trading. Julius Simonaitis's beers are reported to not be sour, but he uses a lot of hops in his beer and his beer is reportedly fairly bitter. DeWayne Schaaf reported that the lactic acid bacteria present in the culture he was given produced a favorable acidity. Lars Garshol is waiting on lab results to see if the lactic acid bacteria were present in the original culture"
Temp range: 20-42
Floc: low-med
Attenuation: 70-80
Midtbust (Stordal)A Kveik culture that is a blend of S. cerevisiae strains that lend a lot of stone and tropical fruit notes as well as a light smokiness and acidity. As with many of the Kveiks fermenting hotter leads to more expression.
Temp range: 24-43
Floc:
Attenuation: 70-86
