Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between ale and lager yeast?

What is Kveik yeast used for?
Kveik yeast ferments quickly at high temperatures—perfect for brewers without temperature control who want clean results.
How do I store dry beer yeast?
Keep yeast sealed in a cool, dry place. Refrigerate for long-term storage and always check the expiration date before brewing.
Can I reuse yeast from previous batches?
Yes, with proper cleaning and sanitation you can harvest and reuse yeast, though it’s best to limit reuse to a few generations to maintain purity.
How does yeast affect flavor?
Yeast contributes aroma compounds and esters that shape a beer’s flavor profile—from the banana and clove of a weizen yeast to the clean balance of American ale yeast.
