Why shouldn't we rehydrate in distilled water? Not that I have but I'm curious. Do the yeasties need the various ions found in common tap water to be happy?
Sprinkle the dry yeast in 10 times its own weight of sterile water or wort at 27C ± 3C.

dry is for those too cheap to buy liquid. with a liquid, you can make the same recipe two or three times and pitch different yeast each time and have three different end results. btw... if you do decide to do dry... DON'T REHYDRATE! just pour it into your fermenter. it knows what to do. I work at a brew supply shop and way too many people end up killing their yeast when they rehydrate it.
Too cheap...?
Same recipe and you want three different results..?
Don't rehydrate...?
Killing yeast by rehydrating it (what exactly happens when you dump yeast into liquid wort?)
Stocking shelves at the grocery store doesn't make you a chef.
On so many levels you have just joined that group of kids on the other side of the school gymnasium that nobody is going to choose for their dodge-ball team.
Usually people work their way over there gradually, but you managed to accomplish this in one fell swoop.
This made me chuckle . . . thanks!
I just wonder if yoops gonna delete the big b's comment from this thread, like evidently she chose to do with all the others that called him on his "stuff."
When I see deleted posts (like the ones above) I have to admit I am overcome with curiosity about what they said . . . kinda like when someone is whispering a secret to someone else - I just gotta know!!!
You don't wanna know...they were all about you.
