Pitch the Yeast

Adding yeast to a wort is called pitching.

The temperature of the wort in the carboy should be 80F or lower. It should not feel warm. Open the yeast package and pour the contents into the carboy. There is an inner plastic bag that should not get poured into the wort, so hold the bag to make sure it does not get out. In the picture I cut the entire top off of the yeast packet. This is not necessary, you just need to cut a corner open. There will be a couple of tablespoons of milky liquid in the packet. Pour it in the carboy and you are all set.
