I'm brewing a porter with the OG of 1.056. The yeast I'm using is a vial of white labs WLP013. Their website says that each vial has 70-140 billion cells. The Palmer book states that ales with an OG of 1.055-1.065 should have 110-170 billion cells in a five gallon batch. The Palmer book also says that "Lower pitching rates produce more aromatics and esters than higher pitching rates." So would you make a starter, or would you just pitch the vial?
