Alright, I feel dumb, I know this has been asked before but I couldn't find it. I have a white labs Irish ale yeast (liquid). I'm gonna do a honey oat stout. The listed SG is around 1.090 so I think a starter is in order due to the high gravity.... How do I do it?
Also, my Oktoberfest has been in the primary for 15 days now and has a nice yeast cake on the bottom. It is a Windsor yeast. Could I just rack my Oktoberfest to a secondary, then just put my stout right on top of this yeast cake and use that as my starter then also add my Irish ale yeast? Would this work well without adding a lot of weird flavors?
