Apfelwine Yeast

[smoke76]

Today I "brewed" my first Apfelwine. I used Cot De Blanc yeast. On the packey it said to rehydrate with 100 deg -105 deg water. Past experience has told me that a temp that high will kill the yeasties. But I followed the directions. Am I good or should I get another pack and pitch dry?

I would have just pitched it dry in the first place, but 100-105 wont kill it

120 degrees is the temp that will kill yeasts.

I just bottled a few days ago after almost 8 weeks and it's so good. It's going down really easily!
