I always prefer to take the yeast right out of the fridge and pitch when it's still cold.  I've seen enough evidence that it's a better way to do it that I'm convinced.....not to mention that I've had great success doing that.

What is the logic behind pitching cold?

What temp is the yeast at when you pitch?

A few degrees warmer than fridge temp....maybe 50F?
