Reiterated Mash - Kveik Voss Barley Wine
Trying out a reiterated mash has been on the cards for some time now. Today is the day!
Using my home build all in one system: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=80104&hilit=single
Here is the recipe. Went in with 30L strike water. Halved the grains. Mashing each at 64c for an hr.
Currently doing first mash. Really loose mash so hopefully that'll help with efficiency.
Anyone else tried this? If so, what was your overall efficiency?

I will have to check but I think my efficiency was within normal range. It probably also depends on hitting your mash pH. Did you just split three grains 50/50 or did you do a base malt mash and one with the specialty grains in?
So how did it go for you today?

Re: Reiterated Mash - Kveik Voss Barley Wine
I did 50/50. Ended up with 70% efficiency. Not too far off my usual so happy with that. Ended up deciding to ferment it in the corny so boiled down to 19L. Should come in at around 12%. Drinkable too within around 4 weeks according to others who've done barley wine using Kveik. We shall see!f00b4r wrote: ↑Sat Jul 09, 2022 5:15 pmI will have to check but I think my efficiency was within normal range. It probably also depends on hitting your mash pH.

I'm defs a fan of reiterated mashing. Why didn't I do it sooner!!
Re: Reiterated Mash - Kveik Voss Barley Wine
Sounds good on the efficiency.
It can be a long brew day though from memory.
You will have to let us know how the barley wine turns out.

Re: Reiterated Mash - Kveik Voss Barley Wine
30 hrs after pitching, this beer is sitting at 1.040 ish. Dropped 50 points in that time. Fermenting at 27c. Blow off has been minimal. Kveik is a real best of a yeast!
Re: Reiterated Mash - Kveik Voss Barley Wine
Kveik yeast - for me - seems a bit dull tasting.
I was trying it for its higher temps capability.
'real beast' yeh, it will knock done the SG real quick (cos of the temp).
Do you think it will be done in a 7 days ?

You're holding back a bit there?
What we need is a real expert on Norwegian "Kveik" ... like McMullen! But 'tis a pity he won't visit this forum anymore. As one of his apprentices I'll do my best to stand in for him:
"Kveik"? !*$%!&* $%&@:?$, #%$!@, ... £^@?£&g Norwegians.
Gosh, I don't 'arf miss him being around.

Me too. He's active on HBT where he has quite a following.

Re: Reiterated Mash - Kveik Voss Barley Wine
6 days in and she's sitting @ 1017. Poured a glass and it's tasty mighty fine already. This weather we're having has probably helped things along somewhat. Thinking it'll drop a few more points again as there's still light activity. Will leave now for a few weeks.

Whatever one might think about Ditch, he wrote many of the better works that I have read.

Re: Reiterated Mash - Kveik Voss Barley Wine
I remember that thread! "McMullan" (sorry, spelt the name incorrectly earlier) was in informative mode, not "bite yer ead orf" mode ... which he might have saved for me, and a certain Norwegian Homebrew store proprietor? A rare showing by "Killer" too, someone else very informative who I had a knack of winding up (perhaps the phrase "pot calling the kettle black" could be applied to me?).floydmeddler wrote: ↑Fri Jul 15, 2022 4:51 pmHe already gave me his low down on Kveik a few months back.

But I can tell by this thread you weren't taking any notice!
Here is another nudge. This brewing example hasn't been casked/kegged yet because of other commitments so it's still sitting pretty in the fermenter (which is cooled hence the very active temperature fluctuations in this hot weather). But it's an "ordinary" British-style dried yeast (S-33) with half-decent flavour characteristics, and at ordinary fermentation temperatures:
Obviously, I will not be suckered into this senseless "kveik" craze ... and neither should you!
The experiences with "Reiterated Mashes" might come in useful though.

Re: Reiterated Mash - Kveik Voss Barley Wine
What does this example show you?
Re: Reiterated Mash - Kveik Voss Barley Wine
1.049 beer wort at 18°C starts fermenting in six hours (S-33 yeast), allowed to free-rise to only 21°C and finishes in 36 hours. It's a similar rate of fermentation (perhaps just a handful of hours slower) to that described above using kveik (although it was in a higher gravity wort going from 1.090 - ish? - to 1.040).
