Hello there! After brewing a few successful batches, I have accumulated a few questions that I think would help me make the next step in this great hobby.
1.) I have read somewhere that using two vials of pitchable yeast provides roughly the same amount of yeast as a starter will. Since I normally use 5 gal worth of yeast for my 3 gal batches, does this mean I don't have to concern myself with starters for the time being?
2.) I am a big fan of belgian-style ales and so I suppose I don't need to stray off from RT all that much, but I would still like some way of keeping a constant temperature. I am thinking of picking up the Fermwrap heater online but I would like to know your perspective before I make the jump.
Once again, thank you for your time!
