Re-hydrating yeast kills?

Where you see snooty? Sorry you do not read your own thread.


You could be a nicer person. I see your point about using a second packet of yeast, but that's not what this entire thread was about. It's about the best way to rehydrate yeast.


Your logic is flawed.

Your just be ridiculous now.

Your all looking down a tunnel and a land full of fairy tales and unicorns.

Wait let m guess if you had a side by side you would nail it every time. Your making a big deal out of nothing.

Try to read my posts before such silly comments.

Sorry you do not read your own thread.

LOL...his signature also says it all :D

All true statements. Nothing snooty. Should I post all the rude comments to me? No I need not. Glad you think I am so important that you can quote me so much.

Atleast you went back and read my posts. I agree re hydrating is fine. I just wanted to make sure they know it is not fool proof either and you can toss it in and have a great beer.

There is drawbacks to both. Pick your poison.

I apologize if I offended anyone. Just passionate I am :mug:
 
Boiling water does nothing to certain toxins in the water or a contaminated container. Temp probe could be off. Your all looking down a tunnel and a land full of fairy tales and unicorns. In the real world its not as perfect as you make it. Why worry about something that does not effect the outcome of your beer? Wait let m guess if you had a side by side you would nail it every time. Your making a big deal out of nothing.

You need not rehydrate to make a good beer. This is where you are wrong.

And which toxins are referring to? Do they leach into the water from the hoofs or the horns of the unicorn? Perhaps you shouldn't use such dangerous water in your beer either... :drunk:

You know, I could probably get away with not sanitizing my carboys a few times. If it worked and I made a great beer, does that mean I could jump on here and tell everyone they shouldn't waste their time??
 
I have read mixed reviews about re-hydrating dry yeast and pitching yeast in cool temps. So, if pitching yeast in high temperature wort kills the yeast then how does re-hydrating yeast not kill, considering the water temp for hydrating yeast is 90-110 degrees? Sorry for the noob question :eek:

To get back to the original post, pitching dry yeast into 105 degree wort wouldn't kill them (at least by temperature), you just don't want to ferment that high for flavor reasons. Yeast produce more off flavor compounds at higher temperatures. Wort kills as much as 50% of dehydrated yeast because the dried cells cannot yet regulate how much sugar they take in and burst. Rehydration is an intermediate step to prevent this prior to pitching to preserve more of the yeast for the pitch. There is obviously much debate over whether or not it's "necessary", but that's what it is. Sorry if you got dragged in to a slugfest between students of brewing and the "it works for me so it's the right way" crowd...

Nah it's alright. Needless to say, I've learned a lot.

Feeling strong again after you were caught in lies? Your able to try and be cute again? Obviously you do not really want to learn anything, you're just on a bandwagon. No real knowledge about this subject.

My statements are true. I cannot force you to agree or like them.

I had apologized and you return with this posting??

Have a great day Demus.

Lies? Seriously?? Ask BansheeRider if he thinks I've been lying to him. Are you off your meds or something?

Wow how soon you forget. I was not talking of lies to him. You're not worth my time.

Have a great day!
