By rehydrate do you mean have a beer??? :mug: Can you pitch a packet later in the stage like a day or two after the first one?

Yea it was extract, sorry. Mr. Malty says it would take 1.2 packets of Saf-05.... Damn I'm right on the threshold

I'm brewing 5 gallons, just took the hydrom. reading and I got an OG 1.074. Is that too high for one package of Saf-05? Yeah I have thought about it, I just need to read a little more and pull the trigger on actually doing it....

I'm brewing my first batch (triple hopped ale), in a Williams fermentor with the spout at the bottom. One week into fermentation I used the spout to take out some beer for a hydrometer reading. -Is the residue beer that is now on the spout a potential issue for bacteria when I siphon it out...
