What are you doing with homebrew today?

I have one of those weirdos in my house that doesn't like the smell of malt and hops in the house on brew day...View attachment 33758

I hope our wives realize how much we cater to their idiosyncrasies! <-- Sunglasses are on so no one knows who said that!

Probably not but I guess that door swings both ways

Well I got my Amber Ale in the fermenter and all cleaned up. A successful brew day, no wort on the floor!

I did notice as I was pitching the Nottingham into the fermenter the package said to rehydrate or activate before using. Hope it takes off..

 

[Brew Cat]

I never rehydrated
I just sprinkle it on top and go about my business
Which hops did you use ?

 

[west1m]

Used cascade, 1 1/2 each 45min and 1 min

No, no use doing that. I don’t know why they put that on the packages. Sprinkle it and go.

No need to rehydrate, dry yeast has come a long way baby!
