  • Hey Tom. I'm still up in the air about re-hydrating vs not. I've done both with both Nottingham and Coopers yeast, and never noticed any difference. I sprinkle my yeast onto the foam, and cover it for 10 minutes. It starts chowing down on that foam and that re-hydrates it pretty good, then I give it a stir. The jury's still out for me on this one. Cheers mate!

  • @CraigTube According to John Palmer and all those guys on the Brew Network, they say that it is a bad idea to just sprinkle it in. According to them, "Often the concentration of sugars in wort is high enough that the yeast can not draw enough water across the cell membranes to restart their metabolism.". They say that half of the yeast cells will die immediately without re-hydrating. I don't know, I didn't notice any faster start, but I figure the experts are telling me to, and it can't hurt!

  • TOM!!! Where ya been??!!

  • @yambor44 Waiting on my new camcorder! I plan on doing more videos now that I have a nice camcorder!

  • now where's the video of you lifting that big arse carboy?? haha.. nice video!!

  • @jakecpunut Yeah, that is a big problem with it....it is over 100 lbs. I can do it, but I really don't want to, plus it would increase the likelihood that I would drop it, which could be fatal! I've got an idea in the mix for that....future video!

see all

  • U sound like Chuck liddell

  • @tomroeder I agree, it never hurts. Those guys are the pros.

  • @immolateus Sorry I guess I just should have come out and said it I am a fan of peated Scotch I have a Ardbeg and Laphroaig single malt Scotch reviews up and they are peated whisky. I don't do home brew vids but I have been an all grain brewer for 2 years plus. 

  • @brewale4me Thanks for watching!

  • @conduct623 I assume you are referring to the silicone tubing. Got it at Austin Home Brew. A little pricey, but 100x better!
