I know how much to use for my batch from mr. malty, I just had one more beginner question. I'm going to add one cup of boiling water to a measuring cup and then add 2 packets of dry yeast (safale us-05) when the temp is around 100.( below 105 for sure) then wait to it cools to temp of my cooled wort-- around 70 -- , about 15 minutes I'm told. then pitch. I'll stir yeast occasionally. First-- my measuring cup needs to be sanitized first-- correct?
(I will sanitize with star-san) and Second, after I pitch yeast to wort, can I pick up my carboy and give it a little shake to mix? any help would be appreciated.
