I usually don't rehydrate my dry yeast. Usually, I just sprinkle it on top of the wort when it's cool enough. So yesterday, I decided to rehydrate a packet of Nottingham for the Red Rye I had just brewed. I boiled a cup of water. Put it in a measuring cup. Covered it with saran wrap...

Drinking a (few) homebrews and cooking up a new batch and rambling tonigth? :drunk:
