I recently posted a thread asking about my next brew. I ordered an amber bock from ahb. It was suggested to make a starter. I have an idea now of what it is, but still have questions. This is my first lager, all my others have been extract ale's. I never used a starter before. They all seemed to do well. The most recent a red ale started fermenting in 12 hours or less. Is a starter neccesary for lagers, or just a good idea. If I make one do I add all of it (2 liters to a gallon) it to my 5 gallon batch when it goes in to the primary?
