Hello,

So, I'm wondering about how I can pitch some rehydrated dry yeast into my glass carboy without losing some yeast in the process.

I don't mind losing a little bit of yeast because that's normal but I don't want to lose more than necessary trying to pour yeast into the small mouth of the glass carboy.

My thinking at this point is to use a measuring cup to rehydrate in and use the mouth to guide it into the carboy. I will probably still lose some of the yeast dregs to the measuring cup this way.

What are some better methods to do this?
 
Stop sweating the small stuff, there are more than enough viable cells in a fresh pack of rehydrated dry yeast to get the job done, a couple drops in the measuring cup is nothing.
