Hi all,
Pretty new to HB but I've gone all in with 2 fermenters, 5 kegs and as of today 2 dedicated fridges :icon_cheers:
Reading (studying) these forums I've found the term "fusel alcohol" used a few times and understand it is caused by higher fermenting temps and tastes like sh!t - hence today's acquisition... a fridge to ferment in!
I'm at the point where I'm about to try re-hydrating my dried yeast before pitching... are there any concerns to be had regarding temp and time when pitching re-hydrating yeast?... and then possible fusel alcohol as a result?
Any thoughts appreciated.
