I just picked up a Russian Imperial Stout kit that contained dry yeast pack.
Kit says OG 1.078-1.08
Yeast - Dry 11.5g English Ale Safale s-04 (Fermentis)
best by date: 2012 Oct.
I have read many threads.
Is a starter needed in this case?
Recommended or not needed at all?
Any other recommendations before I brew?
(will be trying a full boil)
Thanks
