I'm new to brewing and this site so sorry if this question is retarded, I have search and on this forum and cant find the answer
So....
Did my first extract brew at the weekend (American Pale Ale) and after much reading and research I decided to cool the wort in a cube, to split the process in 2 (which was lucky as I nearly ran out of time at the weekend!) and from seeing a few brewing demo's in Grain and Grape it sold it to me
My question is when I transfer the wort from cube to fermentor is it ok to pitch my yeast straight away or do I need to heat up the wort in the fermentor before I pitch the yeast?
I'm using 05 US dry yeast and plan to rehydrate it and add it to the wort (following John Palmers guidance here)
Any advice would be great
Cheers
Dave
