Hey guys,
So yesterday I picked up an IPA kit at my LHBS. This kit came with Safale s-04 yeast. The guy who was helping me told me he brewed this kit a few weeks ago and recommended that I do a starter. He said with the starter he had an awesomely active fermentation. I thought ok no problem.
Having not done a starter before I didn't realize they take 24 hours.
I wanted to brew today since tomorrow is the Superbowl.
So the question...
Will starting the yeast benefit the beer and be worth cramming in my brew before the game tomorrow? The directions that came with the beer just said to dump the yeast in to the wort. Should I just go ahead and do that?
Thanks for any help!
