Gentlemen, I'm planning to brew my first batch with Lallemand's Voss Kveik (actually my 90th batch).
My question is: do Kveik fermentations require same extra contamination precautions as with Diastaticus yeasts? I was a non-believer in Diastaticus contamination and thought the standard cleaning protocol (rinse with water after use > soak for a half an hour in Chlorinol/Iodophor/StarSan solution before use) between batches would be ok till it badly affected some of my batches, after which I have separate brewing equipment for Diastaticus and Non-Diastaticus fermentations.
What's your experience, is it safer to have a separate brewing set for Kveik? Or standard cleaning protocols (like those between English/American yeasts batches) will be fine?
