All this talk about US 05 yeast and no starters needed.
I use liquid yeast cause it is one more thing to experiment with in making a new flavored beer. For example, I cannot duplicate the British ale Yeast II flavor from dry yeast.
But the question is, why the heck does Wyeast and White labs only put 100 billion cells in if everyone making a 5 gallon batch requires a starter for more? If we did not have to make a starter, maybe more people would buy the product? Is there a limit on the number of cells you can sell by law? Maybe they cannot fit another 100 Billion in the package? Both those answers make no sense.
