Yesssss! Espe is my favorite commercial kveik. Last summer brewed a hazy, fermented in three days. Then brewed the same beer and dumped on the trube of the first batch. Went to work, only to come back to my blow-off truly BLOWING OFF. To this day there are spray-drops of ESPE on the wall. Anyway, the second batch fermented in 9 hrs! 9 HRS!!!! I had two beers in one week with this one. I've been using it for three years and it never disappoints. Cheers, Steve, I was hoping you'd discover this one. BTW add lychee fruit juice (from your local Asian supermarket) to the brew, it will blow your mind how well Espe fits the fruit profile.

Perfect timing on this vid! Planned a brew day past Tuesday but realized day-of I was short on wheat malt for the Philly Sour Gose I was planning. Maybe its time to dig into that pound of Bru-1 I got on flash sale from YVH. Wait a sec, didn't Steve just post a Bru-1 SMaSH recently? Sweet! Hmm, no Espe but I have some Hornindal banked from a starter a while back. I've turned around Kveik brews in a week on several occasions, decided to push my process to the limit. Brewed on Tuesday, dry hopped on Friday, crashed on Saturday night so I could keg and force carb Sunday morning. Probably could have done with another day for the dry hop but wanted to have it ready for Father's Day. Still getting big Dole-Fruit-Cup pineapple but I might toss an extra oz of Bru-1 into the keg in a hop ball if I'm still wanting more in a few days. Thanks for keeping my brew day on track!

You know, even though it was more of a humorous thing that your dad said "beer" was one of the flavors, I TOTALLY GET IT! I have found that some beers I brew don't actually have that "beer" taste. If I could pinpoint it, I would guess that it's literally the barley flavor, almost that "crackery", "bready", or "malty" flavor that people sometimes mention. I tend to NOT get those flavors in something like wheat beers, NEIPAs, or something super dark where those dark malts or adjuncts are masking it.
