Temperature range: 25°C - 33°C
Dosage:
- for direct addition: 1 gram per litre
- When rehydrating, the amount can be halved, see below
Rehydration:
1. Rehydrate the yeast in clean water (the water should be 10 times the weight of the yeast and at a temperature of 36°C - 38°C).
2. Mix the contents by gently stirring and then wait a maximum of 15 - 20 minutes (minimum 10 minutes) before moving on to the next step.
3. Add the rehydration solution to the mash. If there is a temperature difference of more than 8°C between the mash and the rehydration solution, slowly add some mash to the rehydration solution to reduce the temperature difference.
