I've done this on my last two batches, both pretty normal starting OG Pale Ales. In both cases using S-04.
I chill the wort with the IC, then dump into the fermentation bucket. Using the egg whisk attachment, I just agitate the surface for about 3-4 minutes on high speed until it's foamy. Sprinkle yeast on top of the foam and then hit it again for 20-30 seconds to mix the yeast in. My results were blown airlocks both times!
If I continue to use this method, I will definately start with a blow-off tube for the first two days. To me it just seemed a cheap and easy way to aerate.
And I thought I was such a trailblazer.
PS-If you have stuck fermentations, consider a starter. Not sure what OG you are starting at, but I had a higher OG Stout, was told to use a starter and didn't. I now listen to advice more readily.
