Oh snap....didn't realize my liquid yeast takes 3hrs. to acivate!!!! Damn. I have it activating and it would be ~1hr. before it's ready to add to the wort. What should I do? Add after the wort is 70degrees or place the wort in the fermenter and add the yeast when it is ready? Aghghgghggh.

Good to know, thanks guys.

I used a kit for the first go around. American Cream Ale.

Brand new to homebrewing, my first batch is carbonating right now.
