Why is Omega Yeast offering Dried Yeast?!
The decision to offer Lutra in a dried format was inspired by an unusual feature of traditional Norwegian brewing:
- Traditional brewers are known to hang yeast to dry in between batches on reticulated wooden rings.
- The ring itself has become an emblem for kveik.
- Brewers worldwide have tried their hand at drying kveik and sharing flakes with each other by mail.
Lutra’s dried format make its neutral and versatile profile more easily accessible to brewers worldwide.
