Hey guys. This is my second brew. I wanted to get a touch more creative than the first (all kit) so I used coopers wheat beer kit, Bavarian wheat DME, dextrose, and danstar Munich yeast. I know I screwed this recipe up at almost every step. I got flustered and lost focus and started rushing and did so many things wrong.
I'm writing here to figure out if I messed up the yeast or not. When I read the package of yeast it said pour into 100ml 30-35 degree water for 00:15. I took this to mean what it would mean on my microwave, 15 seconds. Then stir. Only after I put the brew away and come on here to check how badly I've ****ed up do I realize that it means 15 minutes before stirring. I think I made an honest mistake, but just how bad did I **** up? Did I kill yeast cells? Or just slow them down. It seems like there is some activity in the pail but not like my first batch where I didn't rehydrate the yeast and it was coopers kit yeast.
I'll probably have more questions about this brew. Not about what i did wrong, but what will result from what I did wrong.
Btw I've named this batch "Murphy's brew"
