Brewed this with Kveik yeast hotter than intended – got up to about 35°C! I had mistakenly left the temp probe OUTSIDE the frementation fridge and my hairdryer heat source was cranking up the temp for awhile before I noticed on first day of fermentation. I thought I had messed it up, but no, it turned out great! Kveik thrives at those high temperatures. With the combination of a warm Kveik ferment and half a kilo of oats in this, it naturally turned out quite hazy even though I wasn’t particularly planning to brew a hazy. But turned to be a very nice hoppy beer.
I re-introduced my immersion chiller for this one (instead of the usual no-chill) since it has a lot of hops – worked out well and found it wasn’t really any extra work.

Tasting notes
Came out very good, nice and hoppy. Hazy, but not a full on hazy.
