I've never used Kveik yeast before. Today, I prepared to have my first go, and I made a starter. I've heard Kveik is active, but apparently, I really underestimated it. I created a 1.25L batch of wort in a 2L flask that could accommodate 2.5L if it needed to and added some Lallemand Voss to it. I've never seen yeast react so fast. In minutes, it was foaming over, and the wurt was bubbling as if out was a soda bottle that had just been opened. I stopped the stirrer, but it just kept foaming up and spilling over. I'd attach an image/gif of the activity if I could, but for whatever reason, this subreddit doesn't let me. Long story short, I probably won't make a starter for Kveik in the future. It doesn't seem to need the help.
