Should be close to wort temperature to avoid shocking the yeast.

Usually bring yeast out of the fridge at least 4 hours before to allow to come up to room temperature.

About 1/2 of a cup should be good.

P.S. be ready with a blow off tube and bottle it may just go ballistic :p
 
That 20C temp difference will not be too good.

Tropical is spot on - 4 - 6 hours will make the temps closer matched and cause less health issues for the yeast.

Cheers - Fermented.
