Hello, my first post.
Using Danstar Nottingham yeast in a Brewer's Best, Robust Porter kit as my first brew after many year's away from the hobby.
The printed kit instructions read: "Do not hydrate" the yeast. The yeast packet itself shows instruction diagrams and suggests hydrating the yeast? I'd assume Danstar knows best?
Also, is one packet of yeast (11g) sufficient for 5 gallons? I'm confused by some wording on the yeast packet about proportion.
Thanks in advanced!
