===Simonaitis===
One yeast has been collected from farmhouse brewer Julius Simonaitis in Joniškelis, Lithuania. It's a communal yeast that's been shared with the neighbors since time immemorial. NCYC says the yeast consists of 5 different strains of ''S. cerevisiae'' <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/2467964409898425/?comment_id=2467979546563578&reply_comment_id=2468586789836187&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R6%22%7D Lars Marius Garshol. Milk The Funk Facebook thread on the number of strains in Simonaitis. 01/18/2019.]</ref>. Four of these are closely related, while the fifth is quite different, and is probably a completely different strain. All seem to be ''Saccharomyces cerevisiae''. Technically, this culture is not considered to be "kveik" because it genetically falls outside of the kveik families and because it is POF+ (phenolic producing) <ref name="garshol_not_kveik">[Lars Marius Garshol.

Julius pitches the yeast at 35C and top-harvests it. He ferments 12-16 hours, depending on activity.
