Question for the skeeter pee gurus...
Since I'm more a beer brewer than wine maker, I don't have any active wine fermentations at the moment, so I chose to pick up some Lalvin EC-1118. Would it be better to hydrate the yeast before pitching, or just sprinkle dry yeast into the fermentor?
Thanks
always better to hydrate. I would just double pitch (two packets of 1118) and hydrate in water that is about 90-95F for 5-10 minutes before pitching.
