#1 Post by J & T Brews » Sat Jul 28, 2012 12:19 pm

I need some dry yeast, SafAle English Ale yeast #S-04. The LHS does not have any? I could sub if anyone knows. It is for a Brewfest Chocolate Stout, about 8% ABV.

Thanks,
James

Secondary: Brewfest Red IPA, XXX Black IPA, and Smash IPA
on tap: Nothing

I find it disturbing that they store their powered yeast at room temperature. I usually keep some 04 on hand should the need arise again. Do you rehydrate it, or sprinkle it right on the wort?

When I use dry yeast, I rehydrate it for 15-30 min before pitching.

Yea, I usually let the water set to room temp, then rehydrate and let set, don't really time it, then pour it into the bottle.

I wish the home brew stores would take as much care with their products as we do!

Thanks,
James
