Close to 1.010 would be better, try and get it a little warmer to finish off!
Where did you get this reference from?NewtownClown said:Dry yeast consists of live cells encapsulated in growth media (including dead cells) and are best activated or proofed with hydration in warm water (27c +/-3c. for US-05).
They can also be sprinkled directly on the surface of the wort then stirred in after 15-30 mins but you will lose a percentage of yeast with this method.
Whatever!. If it ferments well then it is well. :chug:NewtownClown said:Proving yeast and making a starter are two different processes.
The former is hydrating active dry yeast whilst the latter is propagating yeast in order to have a high enough cell count to inoculate a larger volume of wort.
Splitting hairs is to say that hydrating yeast is just with water.
Starting yeast is with wort and a visual observation of the activity of the yeasts reaction with the sugars etc. - Proving the yeast
Sorry, was reading on the app on phone on train. Missed it.NewtownClown said:He does, in post 9
