Once it is full of stored energy the cell shuts down and flocculates. Underpitching can introduce an insufficient amount of yeast to entirely consume the entirety of the beer's fermentables. Your fermentation may not finish, or there could be enough food for an infection to take hold. Use Jamil's pitching rate calculator to avoid the problem.
Hydration is calculated by taking the weight of water or liquid in a recipe and dividing it by the weight of flour to get a percentage. Remember that hydration = water / flour. So in the recipe above, if water is 750g and flour is 1,000g, the total hydration of the dough is 750 / 1,000, or 75%.
Place the appropriate amount of water into the measuring cup and heat in the microwave for a 10-15 seconds if needed. The water should be warmer than lukewarm but not hot. Aim for 110-115 degrees (think warm milk or a warm baby's bottle). Water. Next, check the expiration date on the yeast to ensure it isn't expired.
