Introducing the Kveik Yeastery Yeast Selector

Your shortcut to choosing the perfect Norwegian kveik for almost any brew!

A brewer-built tool for brewers

If you’ve ever stared at a shelf full of yeast sachets wondering which strain will make your next IPA pop or which one can survive a garage fermentation in mid-summer, you’re not alone. That moment of “analysis paralysis” is exactly why we built the Yeast Selector, a free web app that now lives on our homepage. In one click you pick a beer style, and the tool instantly recommends the most suitable kveik strain along with a temperature window that will deliver the flavour profile you’re looking for.

How the Yeast Selector works

1. Choose your style. From hop-heavy IPAs and hazy NEIPAs to clean pseudo-lagers and dark stouts, the dropdown covers the core styles our community brews most often.

2. Get a strain match. Behind the scenes we crunch sensory data from dozens of pilot batches, then pick the kveik(s) that consistently nailed that style’s flavour targets. If you can't find your beer style it can be we simply don't have it in our records, or we didn't see a match between the style and any of our yeasts.

3. Dial in the temperature. Higher temps push fruitier esters; lower temps keep things restrained and crisp—our recommended range is displayed right next to the strain so you can hit it without guesswork.

*Remember: push the top end of the range for bigger fruit or stay low for cleaner results.

Try it & tell us what you think

Head over to the Yeast Selector on our homepage, plug in the style of your upcoming brew, and let us know how the recommendation performs in your fermenter. Your feedback fuels our next iteration—and might even land your recipe on our blog.

Happy fermenting,—The Kveik Yeastery Team
