Help! I rehydrated with fermaid o instead of goferm about 12 hours ago four 5 gallon batches with og range from 1.115 to 1.135. Fresh yeast is 3 hour round trip. Any suggestions or just go get more yeast and repitch?
I have fermaid k on hand could be used to replace the nutrients form the goferm?
Thanks
 
Well, the Fermaid O probably didn't hurt (or help) the yeast during hydration. So, you probably didn't cause any damage. As long as you followed the rest of the hydration protocol (temperature and attemperation) you should be alright.
 
I agree. Incidentally, never rehydrate with Fermaid k. It has DAP in it and DAP is toxic to the yeast while rehydrating.
 
I ended up reptiching. Shouldn’t be a big deal, will pull back on the O during sna, I wanted to up the amount of O for this one anyway.
 
The tiny bit they took up during rehydration I'd not enough to count. So I would feed as normal. Unless you used a lot for rehydrating
 
I used 12,5g of Fermaid O to rehydrate 10g of yeast per batch. So I was thinking of skipping the first feed, and continuing on as normal after that.
 
I already answered this on FB. How many places are you going to fish for answers ? ;)
 
I agree. Just feed as normal. The fermaid o used in rehydrating only took the place of the go ferm you should have used. Feed as usuall6 recommended SNA
