Remarks
Use
It is generally recommended that active dry yeast is pitched directly into the wort without prior rehydration.
If direct pitching is not feasible the yeast can be hydrated and pitched in liquid form.
To rehydrate dissolve the dry yeast in sterile water or in wort at 13-21°C / 55-70°F at a ratio of 1:10. Stir gently and leave for approximately 20 minutes. Gently stir again and add to the cooled wort in the fermenter.
To avoid yeast stress, ensure temperature fluctuations are minimal.
