Hello everyone,
First post here, making my first batch: A Canadian Red Ale extract /w dry yeast package.
I am trying to make the best beer possible and am willing to do the extra steps to do so. I have been reading numerous instructions on the best ways to brew and one thing that I am not sure of is how to pitch the yeast.
There seems to be two methods:
1) Re-hydrate the yeast for 15 minutes until fermenting. Poor into fermentor and stir.
2) Sprinkle the yeast onto the top of the wort in the fermentor and do not disturb.
What is the generally accepted best way of pitching the yeast?
