Yeast

[mslauto]

When it's time to add the yeast does it matter if its right from the package or does it need to be re hydrated ?

Hydrated is best, make sure the water is sanitary.

Depends on a lot of variables. You should just search around this site, read a bool or two on homebrewing, do a little research, and read as much as you can about the topic.

Once you get a handle on the various techniques of brewing, it will be fun to explore yeast starters and harvesting yeast from your brews.
