Well guys,
Were in the process of brewing right now. Were bringing the water up too 170 F for the grains.
I'm a bit confused on the yeast though. Should I add the yeast once the wort has been added into the fermenter? Or do I add it before, or mix it in with the wort and pour them both into the fermenter. The recipe says stir into the wort, but I heard that can increase chances of contamination.
Also, the recipe doesn't say but is it necessary to rehydrate the yeast?
Any information is much appreciated.
