Ok first of all I am at work so searching the forums is a bit tough. I have been brewing over a year now, about 10 batches, and have never made a starter. I use the Wyeast smack packs for everything. I have only had one beer, an apple ale with 1gal of cider, have trouble hitting the expected FG. I just tossed a pack of Muntons dry yeast into it. Everyone who has tasted my beers has loved them. Is there some secret Im missing out on? Besides lag periods, what are the benefits of a starter?
