Starters: do you consider it a requirement, a good idea or don't use one. I always use White Lab's liquid yeast?
Just curious.

The general procedure for liquid yeast is take enough DME to make a 1L wort around 1.030 - 1.035 SG, boil, cool, aerate, and stick your yeast in there. You can probably make a weaker wort for dry yeast to get the same effect. I use a half gallon growler for this, with either an airlock or aluminum foil to cover the opening.jaymack said:What's the best way to hydrate the yeast prior to starting the brew?
I usually take .5 litre of my wort, while brewing, and pitch the yeast in that. I let it stand until Im ready to dump into my Priming Bucket than add as per specs.
