Hi, I'm Mark on behalf of Expert Village. In this next segment we are going to show
you how to prepare your dry yeast for inoculation into your wort. First, you are going to pour
one cup of water into a nice Pyrex container. Next, you are 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
are going to want to take it out
and then you are going to want to cover it with saran wrap. When you have got it covered,
you are 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 is around one hundred degrees. If it is a little lower, you are still okay. Now that
it is the right temperature, we are going to add in the yeast. So we are 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 are
going to put this aside in our room temperature environment for about fifteen to thirty minutes
as our wort cools.
