Hey guys,
I posted here a while ago, explaining that I'm pretty new to brewing and am really looking to get my groove back. This is only going to be my 4th batch, and the previous 3 have been okay (for as far as an extract kit can go, and given that I did tougher styles).
Tomorrow I'm brewing a cream ale from an extract kit.

I will be using the Safale US-05 dry yeast option for the yeast, and as of right now, do not plan to make a yeast starter. Would love to hear everyones thoughts on if its 1. necessary and if so 2. tips on how/when to get the starter going?
I bought gelatin finings as well, but I have never used this so if anyone has tips on that as well that would be appreciated. I know this is a pretty broad post, just looking for any props that will make tomorrows brew day go as smooth as possible!
Thanks
