Kveik Collection
Largest Commercially Available Collection
Matthew met Lars Garshol by chance at the 2017 Collaboration Fest in Denver, CO. They were talking about a beer brewed by Ratio Brewing that featured Kveik Yeast. After talking briefly Lars discovered that Matthew had grown the yeast. Lars asked Matthew, "Want to trade for some Kveik Yeast?", without hesitation Matthew agreed.
Thanks to Lars, Propagate Lab now offers the largest selection of commercially available Kveik Strains.
Please Note: A number of these cultures contain bacteria, mixed yeast cultures, and have higher than average attenuation. We have done our best to maintain the original diversity found in these cultures including the bacteria.
