The directions that came with my kit states to lower the temperature of the wort to between 70-75 degrees, add the wort to the fermentation bucket, and pitch the yeast. I read somewhere (I don't remember where now) that the wort's temperature should not be lowered to the yeast's recommended fermentation temperature of 65-70 (WLP005 British Ale Yeast) until some fermentation activity has started. Does this sound right? If so, how long should I wait and what constitutes fermentation activity? Thanks in advance.
