    Rehydrating yeast

    Well you posted one of them. In the end they state no difference. You can kill more cells improperly re hydrating. So if all is perfect in rehydration then sure..... But how do you know it worked? See my point. Its not worth re hydrating. I see your point as you see mine. Its a game of...

    Rehydrating yeast

    Nope. No difference like i was saying. If the end result is the same. There is no difference. They have done tests on this showing no difference. I just to lazy to look them up.

    What did you learn this week?

    I learned after spending a crapload of money that you can brew just as good a beer and have more fun with out all the fancy equipment. Brewing without all the bells and whistles makes ya pay more attention to detail and makes it a work of art.

    Some do, some do not. Proof is in the end result. No difference.

    Re hydrating yeast is not necessary either. Just dump it in. There has been shown no difference whether you do or do not.

    US-05 does not need a starter. Easier if needed to toss in extra pack. Just pour it into fermenter.

    Noob... Was I suppose to strain the wort before putting in the fermenter?

    That only compares rocking to stones in which I said were very poor at aerating wort. The time it takes to strain is much longer and achieves the same results. Thats all I am saying. Plus you get the crap removed if you want.

    The biggest point of exchange is the surface area you break on top. Bubblers underneath are less effective. Swirling, straining or shaking will get you to the 8ppm only with oxygen will you get more.

    Ok lets not make misstatements about straining verse shaking and swirling that's just silly. Plus shaking swirling/shaking is more accident prone. I do not strain but to make agruements against are a bit deceiving.

    I do not believe it is a unnecessary, nor any more dangerous step, no more than oxygenating the wort. While straining you are oxygenating. With a good yeast starter or correct number of packs of dry any type of infection chance would be very low as long at sanitization was good.

    If it does not hurt then what he did was fine. I chalk this up to personal preference. I like to strain it through the strainer as it is nice for aerating it aswell.
