Re-Hydrate v Not..

[pnorkle]

I rehydrate because it appears to be the right thing to do after reading the blurbs..

This pretty much covers it for me too, and besides, much more knowledgeable brewers than I say it's the better way to go, and who am I to argue?

Interesting to see the new(ish) Mangrove Jacks range of dry yeasts aren't bothering with suggesting re-hydration to brewers. The instructions on the back say quite simply "Sprinkle contents directly on up to 23l of wort...."

I did exactly that with a hefeweizen that a few of the BAR boys tried, just the one packet in around 1048 OG of 20L and it was perfectly fine.
