Well I stand corrected. Good info. Not that I would ever try pitching a single cell, but I've had good luck with the smack packs without ever making a starter.
there are some styles where a fresh tube/XL pack is the proper pitching rate. sometimes its enough reason to sway me one way or the other on my next brew.
Example-
Option A-make an ordinary bitter and do all the work on brewday
Option B-make an ESB and have to remember to build up the yeast
No brainer for us lazy folks!
