was it just normal kit yeast? you can do either, im a stirrer inner, just make sure you aerate your wort very well then add yeast and stir in.

if its a dried yeast just sprinkle on top, ale yeasts are top fermenting so leaving it be is fine , no harm done by mixing it though

i think rehydrating yeast is important. Once rehydrated then you just tip it in the areated wort.

Die hard rehydrator myself. I always add the yeast, half pint of tepid water and a spoonful of sugar to a bottle the night before a brewday (shake then loosen lid).
Next day another shake then straight into the wort.

Some sprinkle on top and leave, others sprinkle on top and stir, I myself rehydrate the yeast and pour it in all ways seem to work fine (some quicker)

I just go by what the manufacturer says to do on the packet

I always rehydrate Nottingham and any other dried yeasts, I normally use 2pkts to nibble away at 59 litre brew with no issues! :thumb:
Before the price hikes I would've used 3pkts.
