Hi folks,
Just wondering how my yeast will go in the fermentation process with the starter technique I used.
I used the safale s-04 yeast in a brew with a OG of 1.066. The amount in the fermenter is 20 liters.
I was reading up on the strain of yeast and on the web page that promotes it says to pitch it in ten times its weight of wort and shake it for 45 minutes to rehydrate before adding to the fermenter to do its job.
So I added 16.5g of S-04 yeast to ten times its weight in wort put it on the shake for 45 minutes then let rest for a further 30minutes at an ambient temp of 18 degrees C.
Will this be enough to create a clean fermentation process or have I done something bad? And if I have done something incredibly stupid please tell me how to do it better for future brews.
