I've only used bread yeast before (and I tell you, the results were awful)
This time I'm using us 05
I read some other topics about this and it seemed like there was some debate on whether or not you should rehydrate dry yeast.
But most people said they had better results rehydrating us 05, should I rehydrate it? And should I add some table sugar to the wort I'm using for rehydration to make things go a bit faster? I'm asking this cause I read somewhere that table sugar, since its simple sugar and easy for the yeast to eat, will make yeast cells lazy?! And will it form a foam on the top of the wort in the rehydration glass in 30 minutes? Like that fizzing sound you hear, realizing your yeast is alive and kicking
