Part of White Labs' Vault strains! White Labs brings you their Hornindal kveik yeast! This unique kveik strain comes courtesy of Terje Raftevold from Hornindal, Norway. This yeast strain is known to produce tropical flavors with notes of fresh tangerine, mango and pineapple, among others. This yeast works incredibly well with fruit-forward hops to complement and accentuate these flavors and aromas, especially at higher temperatures. At these higher temperatures, ester production and fermentation speed are increased. Hornindal does not produce fusel alcohols, even when pushed to its highest temperature limitations! A fun strain to play around with!

ICE PACK INCLUDED
We include complimentary ice packs with ALL liquid yeast orders (if required), but cannot guarantee that the ice packs will stay cold during transit, and thus the yeast can potentially be exposed to hot temperatures. We highly recommend ordering dry yeast during the hot summer months or if you are ordering from a warmer climate. Many times during the winter an ice pack is not needed so we make the determination based on current temperatures and the destination!
