    When using fresh liquid yeast why should I make a starter?

    I've brewed probably half a dozen beers using whitelab's liquid yeast (all several months before the use by date) and I've never had a problem yet I constantly hear people advocate making a starter. I've always had vigorous fermentation within 36 hours. What's the advantage?

    Wort not strained before primary, advantage to racking to secondary?

    Hey guys, I brewed a Belgian Style Ale over the weekend and didn't strain any of my hops and cold/hot break...it all got dumped into my carboy. :drunk: I read the forum discussing that the transfer into secondary really isn't necessary and that many people find a clearer beer by keeping...
