So I wanted to make a gallon of white grape and a gallon of strawberry both from concentrate just as test batches. I mixed 3 cans of concentrates and 7 cans of water, added sugar up to 1090SG, hydrated my yeast for about 10 minutes and addded it to the batches. This was last night and as of now I have no activity and all the yeast is at the bottom of the jugs. There is 1 thing I did differently then several other batches and that is I heated up the water that I used to hydrate the yeast. Our hot water heater is on the fritz so I heated it up in the microwave. Is it possible that the water was to hot and killed my yeast?
