ok thanks! It is dry yeast. For some reason I thought it was liquid.

Hi, I am using American East Coast Ale Yeast and it says to leave it out at room temperature a few hours before I use it. I also see they show directions for rehydration procedure on the back of the package. Right now its pretty solid as its been in the fridge for a while. Do I need to...

Hi I just picked up a few beer kits and I got American East Coast Ale Yeast in a package and SafLager Dry Lager Yeast in a package as well. I won't be brewing right away. Do I store these in my refrigerator until I need them. Also, is it ok to leave the hops out too? It is pretty hot where I...

Hi All, I am a fairly new brewer. I usually ferment my beer in my primary fermenter for 2 weeks (no secondary fermentation) and then bottle for two weeks. Once the 4 weeks are over, I start serving my beer. This is how I have been brewing since I started and it seems to work well. I...

Hi, I just brewed a Blue Moon type of beer and noticed that when I added the liquid yeast, the directions then said to leave the airlock off for a few days or an explosion will occur. I have always put the airlock on immediately after the yeast and was worried I am doing something wrong...
