Hello,
I want to brew my first beer with Kveik and try it out with 1-week fermentation, and 1-week bottle conditioning. (Maybe 10 days of each at most)
My concern is when I tried green beer from Safale US 05 after 2 weeks of fermentation, it was still too bitter and too hoppy compared to what it tasted like after 2 more weeks of bottle conditioning.
I know Kveik ferments really fast, but does this translate to how soon the Hops tastes are processed? Or should I add fewer hops and bitterness than I would use with regular yeast?
Here is an example recipe for reference. Still working out the details.
for 5 galons/20 liters
5.3 pounds/ 4.8 kg of Pale Ale Malt
0.4 pounds/0.2 kg of Melnoiden Malt
0.8 pounds/0.4kg of Dextrine Malt
32 Ibu worth of hops at 60 min boil
5~10g of flavor hops at 0 min boil
And beer smith gives me approx. 1.062 OG, IBU 32, ABV 6.6%
(I picked IBU based on that OG to IBU Chart for balanced taste, might reduce slightly towards malt forward)
