I recently made my first extract batch of "Brewer's Best American Amber". I was happy with the kit so I just picked up a Kolsch kit. The kit comes with a packet of Nottingham, but I thought I might try using an actual Kolsch yeast (WLp209). Is it ok to just shake up the tube and pitch it, or should I try to make a starter? I'm also a little confused about how to pitch the starter (if that's what I do). Do I just dump the whole starter in or drain the liquid off first and how long does the starter need to "brew" before adding? TIA.
