Notes
There is no true substitute for the 40 C speed of Voss kveik, but for a clean warm-fermented beer without a fridge, M54 is the closest dry option.
Voss ferments hot and fast, finishing in two to three days at 35 to 40 C, which no standard ale strain can match. M54 gives a clean lager-like beer at ale temperatures but ferments at normal 18 to 20 C and takes the usual time, so you lose the turnaround speed that is the point of kveik.
