Allright, I actually posted part of this in another part of the forum but I should have posted it here.
Questions are:
1. The yeast packet I have says "Brewers yeast" and that's it. No ale or lager or anything. Will this work for a brown ale?
Also do I need more than one packet?
2. For a starter should I proof the yeast after rehydrating or not? The howtobrew.com says to proof with sugar, but the joys of homebrewing book says not to. Anyone have an answer to this?
Thanks.
