I was doing a talk about kveik in Oslo, when one of the audience members afterwards said that in his home village people also had their own yeast, but they called it "berm". This, he said, was in Atrå, a small place in upper Telemark. Looking at the map I found that it was indeed very small, and as high up as you can get before the central mountain plain where nobody lives.
