==Brief History and Description of Kveik==
===Brief History===
Kveik was passed down from generation to generation within the family, and also shared among fellow brewers in the region. In this way, kveik evolved differently than the two major beer yeast genetic groups that are used in industrialized brewing. While mostly POF-, a trait that is selected for in many beer yeast strains that prevents the yeast from producing 4-vinylguaiacol phenol, other traits are reflective of how this yeast was used by traditional farmhouse brewers of the region. For example, as far back as 1621 (and probably prior), kveik was often stored dry on wooden logs called "kveikstokker" for up to a year or longerbefore being re-used in a new batch of beer (the process of re-using yeast from batch to batch is known as "backslopping" in brewing<ref>[https://mmbr.asm.org/content/77/2/157 The Microbiology of Malting and Brewing. Nicholas A. Bokulich, Charles W. Bamforth. 2013. DOI: 10.1128/MMBR.00060-12.]</ref>). Kveik was typically inoculated directly into the wort by submerging the kveikstokker into the wort at 30-40°C. The wort was often high gravity of around 1.080 SG, and the beer was served just after 1-2 3 days of fermentation beginning at this hot inoculation temperature(this was also the case for most farmhouse brewers throughout Europe even though kveik was limited to Norway, indicating that most landrace/farmhouse yeast was fermented this way) <ref>[https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/03610470.2021.1945377?journalCode=ujbc20 Lars Marius Garshol (2021) Fermentation Times in Traditional Farmhouse Brewing, Journal of the American Society of Brewing Chemists, DOI: 10.1080/03610470.2021.1945377.]</ref>. The kveik was then taken from the fermenter and dried until its next use. If the kveik went sour or died, brewers would borrow kveik from their neighbors, which was another way of preserving kveik through the centuries. Kveik was sometimes also used to ferment bread. It has been proposed by Preiss et al. (2018) that this treatment has produced yeast strains that are genetically distinct phenotypically from other domesticated yeast strains used in industrial brewing in Europe <ref name="Tyrawa_2017">[https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmicb.2018.02137/full Traditional Norwegian Kveik Are a Genetically Distinct Group of Domesticated Saccharomyces cerevisiae Brewing Yeasts. Richard Preiss, Caroline Tyrawa, George van der Merwe, Kristoffer Krogerus, Lars Marius Garshol. 2018.]</ref>.
Farmers seemed to have different preferences for top or bottom collecting their kveik for storage <ref name="larsblog_kveik"></ref>. Kveik was stored in many ways. It was often stored in bottles with water or in a well. It was also dried on straw rings, on linen, or pieces of wood with holes drilled through them called "yeast logs". Often ashes were used to help dry the kveik quickly, or in the case of yeast logs, were lowered into the fermentation vessel to collect the yeast and then rolled in flour and allowed to dry for a few minutes, then dipped again to repeat the process. The log was then hung to dry. Although dried kveik was said to last for months or maybe longer, fresh kveik was always preferred and often given away to those who needed new kveik (moldy kveik was thrown away) <ref name="larsblog_kveik"></ref>.
At one time kveik was the only available form of yeast in Norway (and, of course, similar methods for reusing yeast were used all over the world prior to Emil Chr. Hansen's introduction of the pure-yeast system in 1883). However, the existence of kveik has mostly disappeared in recent times. Today kveik remains in the districts of Hardanger, Voss, Sogn, Nordfjord, and Sunnmøre, at least. Kveik is only used by homebrewers who still brew in the traditional methods of Norwegian farmhouse brewing, although the recent spreading of kveik throughout the world has led to a resurgence in its usage to make various types of beer, including non-farmhouse style beers <ref name="larsblog_norwegian_farmhouse">[http://www.garshol.priv.no/blog/259.html Norwegian farmhouse ale. Larsblog. 10/27/2013. Retrieved 01/14/2016.]</ref>.
Thanks to efforts by Lars Marius Garshol and Håken Hveem, and Norwegian farmhouse brewers Svein Rivenes, Sigmund Gjernes, Bjarne Muri, Terje Raftevold, and others, kveik has been made commercially available to brewers around the world.

In general, most of the cultures of kveik that have been analyzed contain more than one strain of ''S. cerevisiae''. The exact number of strains that is present in a given kveik culture is difficult to analyze; generally labs with better equipment and more time can identify more strains than others. Some kveik cultures contain multiple strains of closely related strains of ''S. cerevisiae'', while others contain a more diverse group of strains <ref name="garshol_preiss_mbaa" />. The kveik cultures with closely related strains defy what a "strain" isolate is; Richard Preiss describes these kveik cultures as being "heterogenous but related communities", meaning that there can be a lot of genetic overlap between subpopulations in a kveik culture and where one strain begins and another ends is not possible to define <ref name="preiss_strains" />. Strains within cultures probably arose due to mutations during cell division, as well as sporulation which kveik is more capable of than other domesticated yeast strains <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/posts/6929359520425536/?comment_id=6929468623747959&reply_comment_id=6933491356679019 Richard Preisse. Milk The Funk Facebook group thread about landrace yeast and sporulation. 05/16/2023.]</ref>. ''S. cerevisiae'' was the only species in all of the kveik cultures analyzed by Preiss et al. (2018). Of the 9 kveik cultures analyzed by Preiss et al. (2018), only Muri (which has since been found to be commercially available Bavarian Weizen yeast and not a landrace farmhouse yeast at all; see [[Landrace Yeast]]), Simonaitis, and Stranda contained only one strain of ''S. cerevisiae'', while all of the others contained more than one strain of ''S. cerevisiae'' up to 9 strains in the case of Granvin (see [https://www.frontiersin.org/files/Articles/409253/fmicb-09-02137-HTML-r1/image_m/fmicb-09-02137-t001.jpg this table from the paper]).

As with Preiss (2018), the only species of yeast found was ''S. cerevisiae''.

Genetically, kveik yeast strains form their own group of closely related domesticated ale strains that are a subgroup of the "Beer 1" yeasts (Belgian/Germany/UK/US yeast strains) from the [http://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(16)31071-6 Gillons/White Labs (2016)] study that sequenced previously known ale strains and found them to make up two genetically related groups called "Beer 1" and "Beer 2" (see [[Saccharomyces#History_of_Domestication|''Saccharomyces'' History of Domestication]] and [http://www.garshol.priv.no/blog/374.html "A family tree for brewer's yeast" by Lars Marius Garshol]). The closest related domesticated strains were 3 German hefeweizen strains; however, this relation is likely just due to both groups being hybrids rather than having any historic relation <ref name="Tyrawa_2017" />. None of the kveik strains sequenced by Preiss et al. (2018) contained the STA1 gene for diastatic activity, which is expected since all of the diastatic yeasts belong to the "Beer 2" group <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/2445690998792433/?comment_id=2446266075401592&reply_comment_id=2446269382067928&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R5%22%7D Richard Preiss. Milk The Funk Facebook thread on kveik and the STA1 gene. 01/03/2018.]</ref>.
Although whole genome sequencing of more kveik strains is needed in order to fully flesh out a family tree of kveik <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/2277955402232661/?comment_id=2279696338725234&reply_comment_id=2279736462054555&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%2321%22%7D Richard Preiss. Milk The Funk Facebook group comment about the two families of kveik yeast. 09/13/2018.]</ref>, based on the 6 strains that were analyzed, kveik strains seem to be divided into two related genetic groups, with the Simonatis Lithuanian strain and a Norwegian bread yeast falling outside of these two groups completely, which arguably categorizes them to not actually be considered "kveik". The two groups of kveik probably originated from two ancestors that were hybrids between a "Beer 1" yeast and wild yeast. Interestingly, the kveik cultures that have multiple strains have strains from both genetic groups of kveik. For example, Hornindal, Granvin, Laerdal, and Stordal Ebbergarden all contained strains from both genetic groups of kveik. Overall, their genetic diversity is wider than the genetic diversity of other "Beer 1" subgroups <ref name="Tyrawa_2017" />. See this [https://www.frontiersin.org/files/Articles/409253/fmicb-09-02137-HTML-r1/image_m/fmicb-09-02137-g002.jpg updated family diagram of yeast].
Preiss et al. (2018) also measured the fermentation characteristics of individual kveik strains in their study, the first published data in this regard for kveik. At 86°F (30°C) they found that 11 of the 24 pure strains of kveik outperformed the best control strain (WLP002) in fermentation rate. There was still a very wide range of attenuation rates between the kveik strains (60-90%). Of the 6 strains that had their DNA sequenced, all but one of the Granvin strains fermented maltotriose. All of the strains tested were POF- (meaning they did not produce significant 4-vinylguaiacol phenol). One of these Stordal Ebbegarden strains also contained a unique mutation on the ''FDC1'' gene that results in the inability to produce phenols and has not been reported before in science. They also found that kveik strains tend to produce fatty acid esters at levels that are typical for other domesticated yeast strains, such as ethyl caproate (pineapple, tropical; threshold 0.21 ppm), ethyl caprylate (tropical, apple, cognac; threshold 0.9 ppm), and ethyl decanoate (apple; threshold 0.2 ppm). The kveik strains studied did not produce high levels of the isoamyl acetate ester (banana) and generally lower levels of the fusel alcohol isobutanol compared WLP001 and WLP002. Strangely, 5 of the 6 strains that were analyzed could form spores, which is not typical for brewers yeast <ref name="Tyrawa_2017" />.
The kveik strains studied by Preiss et al. (2018) displayed unique abilities as far as withstanding stress in their environment. Most of the strains at least doubled their growth at 43°C and grew to their maximum potential at 40°C, while the control strains WLP001, WLP002, and WLP029 showed limited growth at those temperatures. This demonstrates kveik's ability to withstand high-temperature fermentations. All strains tested died at 45°C <ref name="Tyrawa_2017" />.
Kveik strains were also demonstrated by Preiss et al. (2018) to have a higher tolerance to alcohol than some of the domesticated strains tested (WLP001, WLP002, and WLP029), as well as unique flocculation characteristics. Most of the kveik strains doubled in growth in media with 14% ABV ethanol, and about half of them doubled in growth in 16% ABV ethanol media. Half of the strains of kveik were highly flocculant, but some other strains were very poor flocculators. It is possible that since kveik is a mixed culture of several strains of yeast that the highly flocculant strains assist the others in flocculation thus diminishing for the other strains to evolve flocculation properties <ref name="Tyrawa_2017" />.

===Sensory and Fermentation Profile===
The general flavor profile of kveik yeast is ester-driven and non-phenolic, although a wide range of subtle differences can exist between strains. Kveik in its traditional form is ''not'' usually a single type blend of yeastclosely related strains. The "Stranda" kveik was described as "lemon, nuts, grain, and straw" by Lars Marius Garshol. In fact The "Hornindal kveik" with bacteria was described as "fruity, milky caramel, honey, and mushroom with a very likely the different kveik cultures don't even belong unique aroma" <ref name="Tyrawa_2017" />. Kveik has adapted to being fermented at relatively warm temperatures without producing off-flavors (fusel alcohols, diacetyl, or acetaldehyde), usually in the same speciesrange of 30-40°C (86-104°F), but also as high as 43°C (109°F). The beer is finished fermenting within a day or two at these warmer temperatures. So the term " Årset kveikhas been fermented as low as 4°C (39°F), which produced a clean and drinkable beer with a fruity aroma. They have a high alcohol tolerance of around 13-16% ABV <ref name=" means garshol_preiss_mbaa"ancestral >[https://www.mbaa.com/publications/tq/tqPastIssues/2018/Pages/TQ-55-4-1211-01.aspx How to Brew with Kveik.

[http://www.omegayeast.com/ Omega Yeast Labs] describes their two isolates (Voss and HotHead) as being non-lab yeast" rather than any specific strain of phenolic, fruity, and complimenting American citrus hops. They also note that the yeast has a very high temperature range (~68-98°F or any specific characteristic of ~20-37°C), attenuates high, tends to flocculate well, and also tends to ferment faster at the yeast itself. Furthermid to high temperature ranges, only a small fraction of while producing similar ester profiles throughout the entire temperature range. Other kveik cultures generally produce subdued aromas below 20°C (68°F); different kveik cultures react differently at different fermentation temperatures <ref name="garshol_preiss_mbaa" />. Despite the fast fermentation timeframe that traditional farmhouse brewers employ and the high flocculation that exist some kveik have been sampled so far, so what some kveik and some beer styles/brewing conditions may still require or benefit from a more traditional brewing schedule. For example, some kveik may need more time to clean up diacetyl or hydrogen sulfide, to flocculate or settle out completely, or to completely finish attenuation. Keep mind that the farmhouse beers, brewing techniques, and drinking culture differ quite a bit from modern beers, modern brewing techniques, and modern beer packaging/consumption. For example, shelf stability is described here applies only to generally not a concern for farmhouse brewers. Fermenting beer with kveik on the same fast time schedule and in the same ways as the cultures explored so fartraditional farmhouse beers and without making adjustments such as increased nutrients or increased conditioning time might result in less than stellar beer for modern styles <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/2804718906222972/?comment_id=2804964392865090&reply_comment_id=2805567092804820&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D Richard Preiss, Ingo Janssen, and Dan Pixley.

Kveik cultures make identifying individual strains within them difficult because the strains are closely related and there is often not a clear distinction between "strains", nor is there a clear definition of what makes a strain truly unique within the total population of strains that are found in a single kveik culture. Richard Preiss describes kveik cultures as being "heterogenous but related communities", meaning that there can be a lot of genetic overlap between subpopulations in a kveik culture. What exactly is meant by "strain" within the context of kveik cultures has not been defined, and so discussing individual strains of kveik is an inadequate way of discussing kveik <ref name="preiss_strains">[httphttps://www.omegayeastfacebook.com/ Omega Yeast Labs] describes their two isolates as being non-phenolic and fruity, groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/2593762590651939/?comment_id=2593908627304002&reply_comment_id=2594146987280166&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D Richard Preiss and complimenting of American citrus hopsLars Garshol. They also note that Milk The Funk post about the yeast has a very high temperature range (~68-98°F or ~20-37°C), attenuates high, tends to flocculate well, and also tends to ferment faster at the mid to high temperature ranges, while producing similar ester profiles throughout the entire temperature rangesubtle differences in strains in some kveik cultures. 04/04/2019.]</ref>.
Kveik cultures have a wide range of fruity aromas, which is a result of above-threshold production of fatty acid esters, such as ethyl decanoate and ethyl caprylate <ref name="garshol_preiss_mbaa" />. Richard Preiss from [[Escarpment Laboratories]] shared his sensory notes after doing trial fermentations with various kveik strains/cultures. Fermentations were at 30°C in standard wort (1.050, 20IBU) with single strains, not the mixed cultures. 2/3 tasters were blind to the beers and order prior to tasting. This is a single data point on sensory information <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1336954522999425/?comment_id=1407412439286966&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D Sensory data on kveik strains shared by Richard Preiss on MTF. 09/15/2016.]</ref>:

Note regarding Granvin strains: Preiss is still trying to sort out which Granvin yeasts are duplicates and which are unique. ====Unpurified/Mixed Cultures vs Single Isolates====While brewers have made many claims about the difference of unpurified kveik cultures compared to single isolates offered by yeast labs, little work has been done so far to differentiate the effects of pitching original unpurified cultures of kveik versus lab isolates. This is mostly due to the complexity of these mixed cultures, which makes it difficult to study in a laboratory setting. Dr. Maitreya Dunhman noted during a laboratory study on yeast repitching that repitching unpurified or mixed strains of kveik led to at least one observable effect, which is that the strains do not appear to out-compete each other. Normally, when two strains are combined and repitched, one strain tends to rise to dominate the population over the other strains in the population. This was not the case with kveik, which indicates some sort of mutual benefit between strains within the original kveik mixed cultures <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPHwItOxuK0 Dr. Maitreya Dunham. Interview on Escarpment Labs YouTube channel. 08/18/2021.]</ref>(~44:30 mins in).

(2022)] compared propagation characteristics between WLP001 (California Ale Yeast), WLP830 (German Lager Yeast), and WLP518 (Opshaug kveik), using modern yeast propagation methods (12.5°P wort, 25°C temperature, 14.7 grams of yeast nutrient, constant aeration, recirculated with a pump, and with a total propagation time of 26 hours). The study measured attenuation, FAN consumption, final cell density, and final biomass production. They found that Opshaug did not uptake FAD any differently than the ale and lager yeasts. Opshaug had slightly less attenuation. They found that Opshaug kveik had a higher cell density than the ale and lager strain (~803 million cells per mL, versus ~461 million cells per mL for WLP001 and ~593 million cells per mL for WLP830). Aasen's Master's thesis showed similarly higher levels of cell density for kveik strains versus US-05 during fermentation ([[Kveik#Temperature_and_Growth_Rate|Temperature and Growth Rate]] below).

==Recent Yeast Lab Analysis and Commercial Availability==Pitching Rate====Pitching rates for kveik are also one of the unique things about these cultures. Kveik cultures are traditionally pitched at a very low rate, perhaps somewhere around the 1-2 million cells/mL for 15-20°P wort. However, pitching at [http://wyeastlab.com/pitch-rates normal ale pitching rates] should not produce negative results, and brewers should experiment with the pitching rates for a given kveik strain of mixed culture and determine which pitching rates produce the most desirable results.

Foster et al. (2021) also discovered that the tested kveik strains produced much higher levels of trehalose, which is a carbohydrate used by yeast (and other organisms like frogs) to protect cells from freezing/thawing and higher temperatures. Unlike other brewing strains which break down trehalose at the end of fermentation, kveik keeps it. This might explain how kveik strains are able to tolerate higher temperatures, as well as why they can tolerate drying. It might also explain why kveik begins to ferment so quickly in fresh wort. Trehalose stores also cause yeast to not take up maltotriose, and this might explain why kveik strains tend not to consume maltotriose <ref name===Bjarne Muri's Olden Farmhouse Yeast==="Foster_2021" />.

===Dagfinn Wendelbo's Lærdal kveikLandrace Yeast In Other Countries===There are farmhouse yeasts in other countries and Norway that have survived for generations, similar to kveik, but are genetically distinct from kveik. Since the term "kveik" refers to just Norwegian farmhouse yeast, the term "landrace yeast" has been proposed to refer to farmhouse yeasts as a category of yeast. Non-kveik landrace yeast includes yeasts from Lithuania and Russia such as Simonaitis, Rima, and Jovaru Alus, as well as the Norwegian farmhouse yeast Muri which is not genetically related to any kveik strains.

===Ebbegarden, Stordal===
This kveik comes from Jens Aage Øvrebust, and was collected by William Holden. Jens originally brewed raw ale, but started boiling the wort because his beer became sour now and then. Pitch at 28C, harvest yeast from the top after a couple of days. Prefers not to let the yeast go over 30. Usually ferments 4-6 days. Sent to NCYC and NTNU, but no results yet. Jens usually ferments down to an SG of 1010, because he doesn't want the beer sweet. He says the yeast has always been in the valley as far as he knows.
Appears to have an unusual relationship with hops, so beware that this yeast may accentuate the hop bitterness in your beers. Jens says he only dry-hops himself.

===Framgarden, Stordal=== From Petter B Øvrebust at a neighbouring farm in Stordal. Collected by William Holden. Petter still brews raw ale, pitches at 30C, ferments 2-3 days. Commercially available from [[Saccharomyces#Mainiacal_Yeast|Mainiacal Yeast]]. One strains is available from [https://sleightbeerlab.com/product/fehu-nordic-yeast-pitch-100-billion-cells/ Sleight Beer Lab]. ===Midtbust, Stordal=== From Odd H Midtbust at a third farm in Stordal, collected by Lars Marius Garshol. Jens Aage Øvrebust says this yeast is pitched at 33C, and that it should be kept at this temperature during fermentation. Usually ferments about 3 days. Midtbust harvests the yeast from the top. Commercially available from [[Saccharomyces#Mainiacal_Yeast|Mainiacal Yeast]]. ===Jarle Nupen, Eidsdal=== Jarle brought this kveik to the Kornøl Festival, where he gave it to Lars Marius Garshol. Jarle originally got the yeast from Tore Hjelle in Eidsdal in 1979-1980, so the yeast comes from Eidsdal. Jarle has kept the yeast ever since, and he says "I've watched it like gold." Jarle pitches at 31 degrees, and doesn't want the fermentation to go above 36 degrees. He ferments roughly 30 hours. ===Jakob Torp Årset, Geiranger=== Jakob brought this kveik to the Kornøl Festival, where he gave it to Lars Marius Garshol. More information needed. ===Eitrheim-kveiken, Hardanger=== Jakob Eitrheim, born 1920, has been using this kveik in Bleie since the 1950s. He says he got it from his grandfather, who lived at Eitrheim (now part of the town of Odda), but he doesn't know where it came from before that. So he claims to know the history of the yeast back to the late 19th century. Jacob ran out of yeast in the late 1950s, and got new yeast from his brother, who had the same kveik. The yeast is pitched at 37C, and harvested from the bottom. The Eitrheim family dry it and keep it in glasses. They usually ferment 3-4 days. ===Wollsæter=== Jørgen Wollsæter's kveik culture.

Milk The Funk Facebook group post about Mainiacal Yeast kveik. 08/21/2018.]</ref>. ==In Other Countries== Until the introduction of Emil Chr. Hansen's pure-yeast system in 1883, all yeast was treated in effectively the same way as kveik. However, pure lab yeast generally replaced the ancient cultures all over the world. In farmhouse brewing, the old practices continued until quite recently in several Nordic and Baltic countries. Farmhouse brewing still continues in Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. As far as is known, Lithuania is the only country other than Norway in which the old yeast cultures are still alive, and used in the same way as they were in the past. See [http://www.garshol.priv.no/download/lithuanian-beer-guide/ Lithuanian beer - a rough guide] for more information. Genetically speaking, these yeast cultures are generally not in the same family as kveik, and thus are not referred to as "kveik". The alternative nomenclature of "landrace yeast" has been suggested by Richard Preiss. ===Julius Simonaitis's yeast=== 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. 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.

He ferments 12-16 hours, depending on activity. People trading this culture have reported that there are lactic acid bacteria present in the culture. It is not known if this lactic acid bacteria was present from the source, or if it was introduced during trading. Julius Simonaitis's beers are reported to not be sour, but he uses a lot of hops in his beer and his beer is reportedly fairly bitter. DeWayne Schaaf reported that the lactic acid bacteria present in the culture he was given produced a favorable acidity. Lars Garshol is waiting on lab results to see if the lactic acid bacteria were present in the original culture <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1677055218989352/?comment_id=1729414253753448&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R1%22%7D Lars Garshol, James Thor, and DeWayne Schaaf.

The brewer, Aldona Udriene, discusses the history of this true farmhouse brewery in this [https://oct.co/essays/fight-save-lithuanian-farmhouse-beer article]. She expressed in the article that she was reluctant to give up the yeast, but Omega Yeast Labs reached an agreement with her to bank the culture and [https://omegayeast.com/yeast/lithuanian-ales/jovaru-lithuanian-farmhouse offer it for sale as the product OYL-033]. Omega Yeast Labs describes the yeast as, "citrusy esters and restrained phenols..." and having the, "character of lemon pith, black pepper, and a soft mouthfeel." The Omega Yeast Labs culture is a single isolate, and Lance Shaner says that there was no evidence of more than one strain of ''S. cerevisiae'' in the culture that they recieved, although there was a ''Lactobacillus'' contamination which they removed from the commercially offered Omega Yeast Labs product <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/2296022673759267/?comment_id=2296138443747690&reply_comment_id=2296143233747211&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R8%22%7D Lance Shaner.

The lab performed ITS sequencing, PCR fingerprinting, and mini 7 day ferments with these strains. Unlike kveik, all of the ''S. cerevisiae'' strains were POF+ (phenol producers). According to the PCR fingerprinting, Rima contained at least two strains of ''S. cerevisiae'' but maybe more, as well as a strain of ''Pichia kudriavzevii'' (a fairly common beer contaminant). The first strain of ''S. cerevisiae'' was described as "fruity, relatively clean, and fermented similar to WLP001". The second strain of ''S. cerevisiae'' produced high amounts of diacetyl and under attenuated. The ''Pichia'' was described as "pretty gross and didn't attenuate much". Marina contained what appears to be three closely related ''S. cerevisiae'' strains. They all showed pretty low attenuation after one week, but subsequent fermentations can be carried out longer. The flavors were described as "pretty neutral". There is a fourth yeast strain in the Marina that has yet to be identified <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1800586383302901/?comment_id=2288654764496058&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D Richard Preiss.
