Usage:

1. In most cases, Mangrove Jack’s Craft Series Dry Yeasts can be used at a rate of one 10g pack for up to 6.6 gallons of wort, with the following exceptions: Ales with original gravity over 1.050, use 2 packs per 6 gallons. Lagers that will be fermented below 57°F, use 2 packs per 6 gallons.

2. REHYDRATING: Although Mangrove Jack’s Craft Series Yeasts do not require pre-hydration, cleaner and more professional results may be produced if rehydrated before pitching. For all strains except the Bohemian Lager, add the sachet contents to 100ml of preboiled clean water that has cooled to between 86-95°F (for Bohemian Lager the rehydration temp should be between 68-77°F) Stir gently into a yeast cream for about 10 minutes then pitch directly into wort. Alternatively the dry yeast can be added directly into the wort by sprinkling onto the surface and leaving to stand for 10-15 minutes before stirring.

3. STORAGE: Store in original packaging below 50°F (we keep it in the refrigerator) for optimum 30 month shelf life.
