Don't forget, when preparing the dry yeast for repitching, rehydrate it. An easy way to do it is as follows:
- boil a cup of water (use tap water, not RO or distilled)
- pour boiled water into a sanitized container (I use a measuring cup)
- cover container with sanitized foil or saran wrap and cool (either in a small ice bath or in the fridge)
- when the water is between 90 & 100 degrees F, open yeast pack and pour into warm water. DO NOT STIR. Just leave the yeasties be.
- re-cover container
- After 15 minutes of leaving the yeast alone, take off cover and stir the yeast up into a slurry
- pour entire slurry into beer
I'm sure other people have other methods of rehydrating dry yeast, but I've had great success with this method. Good luck!
