When pitching the yeast should i pitch the yeast into the ferm bucket the pour the wort in, or pour the wort in and pitch the yeast spread over the top of the wort? Not sure if it really matters but thought i would ask.
adding yeast?

Are we talking dry yeast or liquid? If liquid, I would let the yeast warm to room temp, transfer your beer into the bucket and aerate, sanitize the vial or pack and then pour it into the wort and then shake or stir it up with a sanitized spoon. If it is dry yeast, I would re-hydrate it per manufacturers instructions and then follow the rest of steps above with the re-hydrated slurry. HTH

K thats what i have been doing is pitching after pouring. Using coopers brewing yeast and my LHBS owner said to pitch it dry and a starter isnt needed because its a dry yeast.
You don't need a starter with dry yeast, but do re-hydrate it first. You'll get lots more live yeasts if you rehydrate.

So that would just be put it in water for a few minutes before adding it to the wort?
