Never made starters for dry yeast before and I know people say startes are not needed for dry yeast, but Beersmith wants 3 packs of US-05 (6.50$ each) for my 10 gal batch and I've just built myself a stir plate I really want to try.. It seems like I could get away with 1 pack if I use my contraption ~ 9$ savings (yeast minus DME), plus I get to use my new toy - why I shouldn't do it?
Any reasons agains the starter or it's just too much hassle for most?
