I'm just doing my ingredients shop for my next 2-3 brews, 1 of which will be a NEIPA. I normally use M44 or S05 dry yeast and have tended to brew mainly west coast IPAs.
It seems that a lot of people recommend Wyeast 1318 liquid yeast for NEIPA, which I can easily get hold of. I've heard a lot about 'yeast starters' but it seems from reading the instructions on Wyeast that you can just pitch it straight into your wort? Anyone who can vouch for this?
Also, I'd prefer to brew 2-3 smaller batches first whilst I dial in the flavours, maybe over a period of a month. Is there any way I can store part of the pack so it remains viable for a few weeks? The packs seem to be enough for 5 gallons but I'll probably do 1-2 gallon tests.
