After making dozens of lagers with liquid yeast, it's time to give dry yeast a shot in the interests of saving effort. But I can't understand the pitching process: after you rehydrate (at 73F or so) can you pitch this warm yeast directly into your 50F wort? With liquid yeast, this is generally considered a no-no. I guess the two alternatives would be (1) slowly lower the temp of your rehydrated yeast until it's near 50F, or (2) pitch into 65-75F wort then lower the beer temp.
Fermentis' instructions sheet doesn't really address this issue unless I missed it.
