So I apologize for bringing this topic up as I have read numerous posts on the topic of "to re-hydrate, or not" and just as many answers. But what I never found discussed is the concept that re-hydrating allows you to pitch into lower temperature wort. What I mean is typically if you direct pitch you need to pitch into a higher temp wort ( 68 or so ). This seems to me, and I am no expert - I am asking, a major consideration when deciding to re-hydrate or not. Example in mind is you can re-hydrate and pitch on 63 degree wort to lessen esters and diacetyl.
