Ok so I went and made my final purchases today at a local shop...I'm going to brew my first batch this weekend.
When talking to the owner there were some things he said that contradicted what Ive read in books or on this form. Can you help me clarify?
1) After cooling the wort he told me the trub will be on the bottom of the kettle and to siphon the wort into the primary until you just about hit the nasty pile up of cold break/trub/bad protein or whatever. (Thoughts / Opinions?)
2) The shop owner was against rehydrating the yeast .Apparently it is unnecessary and not that good for the yeast. (Thoughts / Opinions?)
3) He told me to purchase a kit. The kit was a Bavarian Hefenfeizen that has everything in a box. Hops/malt/adjunct/ect .Are kits like this good? Next time I think I want to purchase all the hops ect separately.
Thanks brew on
