Dry Lutra

[Teufelhunde]

Did an IPA this morning and pitched a pack of dried Lutra. I pitched at 83 degrees and set my temp control in the chamber for 85. 4 hours after pitch, 1" of krausen, a bubble in the bubbler every half second or so, and the fermenter looks live a big lava lamp with all the movement going on. Methinks this one is gonna be done quickly....

3 days. I give it 6 or 7, keg, and a few days after it’s delicious

Might be done quickly but give it a little extra time. Kveik can still benefit from time to clean up.

I’ve used Hornindal on West Coast IPA’s with success when fermenting warm. Really takes off.

Voss is my choice when I need a quick turn. Lutra always give my taste buds a barn house funk. Others seem to like it though.

I've been using dry Lutra in my house Blonde for a few batches, and I'm absolutely in love with it. Done with primary in 3 days, I usually ferment it about 80°. After krausen drops I take it down to 68° for another day or three, depending on what I have going on, then crash. Have not noticed any off flavors, just get a crisp clean ale out of it. Also clears out fairly well even without finings. And the slurry repitches perfectly.

Be sure to post back how it turned out. I have been curious about using Lutra in something like and IPA.

Just keeping this updated. FG reached in less than 72 hours. Actually fermented out a bit lower than expected. Expected was 1.011 actual final 1.008. I have removed to room temp (around 72 average over a 24 hour period) to clean up/clear/dry hop. I will try to remember to update once it is drinkable....

YMMV
