Hello everyone i am new to the forum and to the hobby of homebrewing. Today i gave an apfelwein recipe that i found online a shot. The recipe was Edworts and it called for wine yeast for fermentation. I decided to go with an active dry yeast from the store since i have heard different pros and cons to both this yeast and the wine yeast. However, my question has to do with the way i added the yeast. I was told to activate the yeast by adding 5 grams to 1 cup of warm water and then stirring it. I did this and let the mix sit for about 5 minutes then poured it into the apple juice and corn sugar mix. Was this activation process correct? should i add more yeast? any help would be appreciated!
Cheers
