I'm surprized that nobody brought this up. New Belgium would like to not aerate it seems.

Give it a read, then make up your mind. Dry yeasts should have what they need, and there are a lot more dry yeast in one packet than in a vial of liquid.
Also, several mentioned cold-pitching, I do that as well. The following is no research paper, but has some interesting info:

It's what it says on the package. Not kidding! "Sprinkle directly on wort". These are exactly the contradictions I'm referring to. One place says sprinkle it on wort. Another says to rehydrate.

To me, the big take-away message is that putting yeast in wort will make beer. Following the basic directions will make decent beer. Improving on the process through other methods could produce better beer.
Hell, I made a beer with bread yeast. It was fine. Now I use 02 and a big starter. The beer is still fine.

Really? About a hundred posts ago a guy posted some info and rather than stay entrenched in my opinion, I thanked him and looked into it.
How about instead of being an internet tough guy, you stay humble, quiet and learn something.

Actually, their website gives two options, so I fail to see the contradiction:

An exact contradiction, maybe not. But the preferred method they give on their website is NOT what they put on their package. So while not a literal contradiction, they certainly advocate a different approach on their website vs what they put on their package.
Okay, will do.
I'm not that tough though. Certainly not as tough as you. Humble and learning something is not what you started with on the OP dude and it is certainly not your attitude now.
Take your lumps dude, you started a stupid post.
