Hi, I'm Mark on behalf of Expert Village. In this segment, we're going to show you how
to prepare your dry yeast for inoculation into your wort. First you're going to pour
one cup of water into a nice Pyrex container. Next, you're going to put this into your microwave
and turn it on until you get a nice rolling boil. Once its come to a boil, you're going
to want to take it out and then you're going to want to cover it with saran wrap. When
you've got it covered, you're going to want to put it into your refrigerator and let it
cool. You are aiming for it to get around one hundred degrees which will be just about
warm on your fingers, but not hot at all. Our water for our yeast rehydration is now
getting just about blood temperature which is where we want it. You can check this with
a sterilized thermometer to make sure it's around one hundred degrees. If it's a little
lower, you're still okay. Now that it's the right temperature, we are going to add in
the yeast. So we're going to take off the nice saran wrap covering which has been keeping
it nice and sterile and then we are going to cover it back up. Now I'm going to take
a sterilized fork which I used in my sanitization fluid and help break up the yeast a little
and get it into the solution. You don't need to do too much of this, just enough to get
it under the top of the water and it will be good. Now, take this back out, get it good
and covered up again, and we're going to put this aside in our room temperature environment
for about fifteen to thirty minutes as our wort cools.
