As a rule, cool your wort to about 20C and pitch the yeast, regardless of the strain.
With lagers, wait until the yeast starts, then cool further below 10C.
How important do you think wort chilling is for ales? Can't the wort get too cold for pitching yeast?
Im a newbie but i have made two ales. To beat this summer heat I make up 6 trays of ice cubes and add them to the wort. Making sure that the water levels are right. I mix the ice cubes around the wort. Temp check I get about 20 deg cel for the wort once the cubes dissolve then in with the yeast and close the lid. Then she sits near the air con....have fun.
