I read several places that you should use four ounces of warm water to rehydrate a pack of yeast. If I’m doing a strong batch that requires two or three packs do I still use four ounces or four ounces for each pack? 12 ounces for three packs?
I’m planning on making a pretty strong mead.
I can’t imagine that it makes much difference.

[quote]rehydration instructions
Sprinkle the yeast in minimum 10 times its weight of sterile water or wort at 27°c ± 3°C (80°F ± 6°F). Leave to rest 15 to 30 minutes.[/quote]
Like anything else in brewing, do what works for you.
