I've been pitching yeast smack packs for years, and I just used my first yeast starter (1.89l). Wow, what a difference! Active, churning fermentation in 3 hours instead of 12. Always before, I had my ales slow/stall when they got around 60-62*. Since my beer had risen to 78* late last night, I dropped in 4 more ice packs. Forgetting that the nights are no longer 90*, this morning I awoke to find my fermenting wort a frosty 60^. After a few seconds of panic, I quickly realized that it was churning and burning just as it was last night!
All I can say is that I should have done this years ago...
