Product Details

This unique yeast complements farmhouse beers with citrusy esters and restrained phenols. The strain produces a character of lemon pith, black pepper, and a soft mouthfeel.

One of the oldest Lithuanian farmhouse ale yeast strains – sourced from famed brewer Aldona Udriene’s JOVARU™ Beer – is now available exclusively via Omega Yeast for brewers in the United States! We’re ecstatic and fortunate that Aldona Udriene of Jovaru, known as “the queen of Lithuanian farmhouse beer” is partnering with us to bring this unique strain of yeast to the States!

Ms. Udriene, whose beers have won awards internationally, has been brewing beer in the same manner that her family has for centuries, consistently cultivating the same yeast strain. This is one of the key reasons that her farmhouse ale, or “kaimiskas alus” in Lithuanian, is so distinctive.

“Kaimiskas alus” is also unique because the beer is unfiltered, unpasteurized and naturally carbonated. Because the malt is never heated, proteins remain in the beer, making what is actually a dry beer seem a bit on the sweet side. While all beer has a shelf life, this particular style is best enjoyed fresh, within one month of brewing.

Awesome little things

I just made a Mead with this yeast and while it says 10% ABV tolerance mine hit 15% without missing a beat. Like all the Kveik's I have used, it loved the warmer brewing temp of 93F. I was really trying to get a sweet 10-11% mead out of this one lol but it had other plans. I am doing a Citrus themed mead so this yeast fits the bill for esters. given the right nutrients and enough sugar this stuff will push itself far beyond its ratings(you know because yeast can't read). I am looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

Jovaru for the win!

Awesome farmhouse/saison yeast. Fermented at low to mid 80's temp, it started within 3 hours of pitching and ripped through it in a few days. Finished at 86% attenuation with citrusy spicy flavors.
