So I've had a chance to make two batches of a RIP using an extract, but now I think I want to try my hand at the all grain recipe.
Just wanted to see if anyone has any helpful advice on the matter.
I've read a few posts about rehydrating the yeast before you add it. I've only made one batch, it was a Russian imperial stout and I just spread it over the top. Is it better to rehydrate it first?
I would like to start off by saying this was my first brew.
The only thing that I did differently was I added oak chips to the primary.
