Yeast pitching

[Kegstand]

I just started my 2nd batch about 10 minutes ago. It's the Oktoberfest Vienna Lager. Was just wondering how you guys usually pitch your yeast. I've heard some say to sprinkle it on top and then leave it. Others I've heard say mix it in well. Or..a combination of both after letting the yeast sit on top for a few minutes.

Was just wondering if there was a difference or not...and what method you guys prefer.

Thanks.

boil a cup or two of water. let it cool to about 90F or so. add and mix in yeast. let sit for 15 minutes. then pitch into wort.

Thanks for the tip.

Then do you mix well or just pitch it in to the wort and let it be?

I assume you're using dry yeast? If so, just rehydrate according to package directions and pour it in. No need to stir or mix it up.
