So this was my 4th batch .I brewed a sweet stout kit but this is my first time using a dry yeast. So I did each step accordingly until it came time to pitch the yeast. I ended up pitching without hydrating it. Will this be a problem? It's been about four days the aerator is bubbling and theirs a decent head maybe an inch inch and a half is their anyway of saving this batch or is it a kick back wait and see kind of deal? Any suggestions and input would be appreciated! Cheers!
Your beer will be fine. The yeast is doing exactly what it should be doing, based on your description. Re-hydrating the yeast makes activation a little easier on the yeast, but it is possible for them to do their thing without re-hydrating.
Yeah,pitching dry is fine. But re-hydrating cuts lag time & makes initial fermentation more vigorous. A blow off is wise when doing it that way for the first few days.
