White Labs just released their Kveik Opshaug strain WLP518, and looks to be a core strain now. Thought it would be a good idea to consolidate a new "all things Opshaug" post that is easy to find.
According to White Labs: this kveik strain was isolated from a mixed culture which belonged to Harald Opshaug, a farmhouse brewer in Stranda, Norway. This strain was originally used in the 1990s to produce several kornøl-style beers. It is a clean fermenting yeast and has tolerated temperatures up to 91°F (33°C) while finishing fermentation within three to four days.
I am new to Kveiks, and have Opshaug in my queue. Frankly, waiting for the Seattle area to warm up into what passes for summer heat in this area. Today was the first day to break 80F this summer. Will post back when I get an Opshaug going.
