From my LHBS's web site :
--Yeast starters are highly recommeded for all Wyeast "smack-packs!" Fermentation will begin and finish much more rapidly by dramatically increasing the pitching rate of your yeast.
--It is generally not necessary to make a yeast starter for the White Labs Pitchable Brewers Yeast.
So if the Wyeast packs contain 100 billion cells, and the White Labs vials contain 30-60 billion cells, why would a starter be recommended for Wyeast but not necessary for White Labs?
