Kviek Strains

I recently received several new Kveik strains from a gentleman named Ivar in Norway. We traded some yeast that I had for several strain that he had collected.

#1 Gjernes (Voss)
#4 Muri (Olden)
#5 Hornindal (Raftevold)
#9 Ebbegarden (Stordal)
#10 Framgarden (Stordal)
#15 Nornes (Voss)
#16 Simonaitis (Joniškelis, Lithania)
#17 Midtbust (Stordal)
#22 Stalljen (Hornindal)
#38 Aurland (Aurland)
#39 Marina (Kshaushi, Russia)
#40 Rima (Kshaushi, Russia)
#43 Opshaug (Strandadalen)

I am planning on brewing with each strain over the next year  and comparing the results.

I will be using a standard recipe for each batch that is made up of...

71% Pilsner
23% Munich
6%  Rye

I will be doing 3 gallon batches with 10 grams of Juniper added.

The plan is to use a step mash starting at 120 for 30 minutes, 140 for 30 minutes, and 160 for 30 minutes. The wort will be boiled for 10 minutes with a small addition of hallertau added just before starting to lauter the mash.
