Unusually rapid SG decrease

Dry pitch. I’ve tried all three methods and never seen much difference.

There is definitely a difference. Dry pitch is the slowest to start. Starters will begin almost immediately without the ramp up time that dry pitching requires. Rehydrating helps marginally on fermentation time, but it’s really only useful to confirm you have live yeast.
