This yeast can be pitched directly, but if you prefer to rehydrate, the instructions are below.

Sprinkle the yeast in a minimum of 10 times its weight of sterile water or wort (we suggest 4 oz) at 70°F to 77°F (21 to 25 °C). Do not stir. Leave to rest 15 to 30 minutes. Gently stir for 30 minutes, and pitch the resultant cream into the fermentation vessel.

• Attenuation: 86-90%
• Sedimentation Time: Slow
• Alcohol Tolerance: 9-11% ABV
• Optimum Fermentation Temp: 64-78°F
