Re-hydration (good news . . . its not necessary anymore)

During yeast manufacture, a special process is used to promote very high levels of the natural compound - Trehalose within the yeast.

Trehalose is a natural sugar produced within the yeast cells to protect itself during prolonged storage and stress conditions.

The very high levels of trehalose achieved also remove the need for re-hydration before adding to must or wort - there is now no advantage in doing this even for high alcohol wines.
