I usually use a starter or liquid yeast. I got lazy today and pitched 11 gram of nottingham danstar dry yeast into 5 gal of 70 degree temp- 1.070 gravity wort. This is my spiced/apple xmas ale, I hope everything turns out OK and the yeast does it's job, but I have a feeling that I should have hydrated the yeast and now I may have underpitched.
On a positive note, I think this is going to be one great beer if it works out...fresh ginger, honey, cinnamon sticks, whole nutmeg, whole cloves, 5 pounds chopped apples,l caramel/crystal malt, a few flaked oats and four different kinds of hopps added at 15 minute intervals to the boil..I hope I didn't ruin it!
Anybody want to offer some words of encouragement?? LOL
