Hey all, planning my boil on Sunday. I got a kit from Homebrewers Outpost and it says the following on the instruction sheet, which I wasn't sure about:
1. It says do not re hydrate the dry yeast even if it says to on the package of yeast.
So do I just dump the packet of yeast right in the fermenter after I cool the wort?
2. Bittering hops add to a muslin bag and throw in to the boil for 60 minutes.
So the hops aren't loose in the boil? My other brewing book seemed to allude to the fact that the hops are loose in the wort.
3. Specialty grains should be added before the heat is turned on and taken out right before the boil.
Should I keep the heat low and let the grains simmer or steep for a prescribed amount of time? Or just put the grains in when I turn the heat on and then take them out before it is going to boil?
Thanks I appreciate the help.....I can't wait!
