Top Crop IPA - Ekuanot / Medusa Hopped Kveik IPA - In One Day!

In this brewing video, we're making an IPA using Kveik yeast, Medusa, and Ekuanot hops. In order to ferment this beer, we top cropped yeast from the krausen of an actively fermenting batch. This process was a bit of an experiment, but it's actually a very easy and efficient way to harvest yeast. The yeast found on the krausen is all viable, healthy, and clean, meaning it doesn't need to be washed like yeast at the bottom of a fermenter.

This homebrew recipe is also extremely quick to make. Because of shorter mash and boil times and kveik yeast, we had a finished IPA in just about a day. Kveik yeast is an excellent choice if you're in a pinch and need to make beer fast. In our case, we had friends coming from out of town and the last thing we wanted was dry tap lines. We recommend you brew this Kveik IPA during the summertime and share it with friends at cookouts, pool parties, and tailgates. Pair it with some grilled steaks and juicy hamburgers or lighter foods like tomato salad and watermelon. Check out the resources below for a full recipe, brewing equipment, and an article from Milk The Funk that explains what Kveik yeast is all about.
