Honest, I searched the forum but only returned one post, maybe not looking hard enough.
Never used to rehydrate but I had a yeast die on one brew so never again will I just blindly pitch the yeast.
Some have talked about energising the yeast with wort. Yay or Nay ?
Only time I did it, I'd read about how oxygen was necessary for the yeast survival so left the bowl open. But felt conflicted about it and have since read that most people cover with clingwrap. Either way, unless you purged with CO2 I guess there's always a chance that the yeast could be contaminated.
I'm still conflicted and not sure what to do, would appreciate hearing what other people have done..... or let me know what search word to use and I'll have another look
Regards,
Mika
