Notes
To brew a beer fast, LalBrew Voss Kveik is the pick. It ferments hot, up to 40 C, and finishes in two to three days without the fusel alcohols a normal strain would throw at that heat, so it turns a beer around in a week.
Its clean, subtly citrus profile also makes it a good warm-ferment pseudo-lager. It flocculates very hard, so it is easy to harvest and repitch for the next fast batch.
