Just joshing you. There have been a huge number of recent tiffs about whether a starter is necessary or not.
He said it was harvested yeast.

4 oz of harvested yeast. Yes, I know of the debate. I 'hope' to calculate the amount to use in my batch once I decide on what I want to do. This is my first time using the stir plate and first time using harvested yeast, not to mention my first smash. So basically a 1 gallon experiment all around. If it turns out bad, so be it. I'm after the process this weekend!

I harvested a Nottingham. I wanted to use that as a practice before I use and harvest a WLP500 (for a belgian strong ale) a WLP002 (for a parti gyle from the Belgian strong) and a WLP001 for a celebration clone. I'd rather waste the Nottingham than one of the others if things go bad.

Ok, was just testing you.
You'll be glad to know you passed the test. Haha.
Can't remember where I read it but I remember someone saying Nottingham attenuates like crazy when it's been through a few generations (could be their practices of course, but interesting to see what you get).
