Dry Lutra

[Rocket-Boy Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Rocket-Boy]

No I didn't misunderstand you this is what you said: but with Lutra aiming to "replace" lager yeasts in the way it does No problem Ill let you believe the manufacturers marketing mumbo jumbo, that it can replace and apparently already does replace lager yeast according to you, until you have done the side by side brewing like I have done.

FYI I have done Lutra vs 34/70 and Lutra vs. US-05. No I dont just jump in and give a elaborate expert opinion on Lutra from 2 side by side brews but this is in short what ill share for now.

Lutra vs 34/70 @ 20C: like I already mentioned in my limited experience its is not a reliable replacement for a Lager yeast.

Lutra vs US-05 @ 20C : again in my experience (not the opinion of the w.w.w.)Lutra in a hop forward Ale is in short "bland and the hopping is sharp" vs. the highly used but over rated US-05

So just keep on brewing your single brew Ales with Kveik Ale yeast that you think taste like a Lager and Ill brew my Pseudo Ales with Lager yeast that taste like a real Lager

Are you fermenting under pressure?
Its a completely different discussion if pressure is introduced. Im fairly sure most of the internet based suggestions for Lutra were done under pressure resulting in a clean and crisp fermentation.

Im not a fan of lagers so I have no interest in comparing yeasts, but it would be interesting to see the difference under pressure.

Yes, I said with Lutra aiming to replace, not "I aim to replace". " this is what experimentation is all about. Don't you find it fun/interesting to do?

and you also said "in the way it does" you should consider a career in politics :-)

Yes I experiment all the time especially with yeast, the difference in my brewing is I do split batches with temp control and have 2 side by side totally closed systems from pitching yeast all the way to the point where the 2 beers with 2 different yeast goes in to the glass.
You should try it in your aim for spotless fermentation thread

Nope I didnt do this round with Lutra vs. US-05 under pressure but I have done multiple side by side pressure fermentations with Oslo vs. various Ale Yeasts. I have also done various Lager yeasts side by side under pressure, there is some of my feedback on this forum from about 3 years back.

I actually got a new temperature controller this week (yesterday). I'll be fitting it soon, I hope, and then I want to make a split batch (I have the capacity) with a clean yeast like Lutra and then something forgiving, like W34/70. I agree, it's the only way.
