Omega Yeast OYL-071 – Lutra™ Kveik
Isolated from Omega’s Hornindal Kveik (OYL-091) culture, Lutra™ is shockingly clean with unrivaled speed when pitched at 90°F (32°C). The strain is perfect for brewing a refreshing pseudo-lager without the lead time of a lager. Lutra is your worry-free way to navigate the evolving demand for cold ones.
After a customer brewed an unusually clean German-style pilsner beer with Hornindal Kveik blend (OYL-091), Omega’s R&D lab discovered that one of the strains hidden within the blend, now dubbed Lutra™ Kveik (OYL-071), ferments a wildly clean canvas that can be used for pseudo-lagers, West Coast IPAs or American Stouts.
For the most lager-like profile, we suggest fermenting between 68℉-72℉.
