Hi all,
I just bought my first smack pack of Wyeast 1056 at my LBHS the other day. I'm going to use it in one of those kits with a 23L bag of pre-hopped wort.
I have 2 questions.
1. Do I need to make a starter, or can I just follow the directions on the back of the package of Wyeast?
2. This stuff was $10, and I don't want to spend the money on it each time I make beer. If I brew the beer, and rack it off into a secondary, can I just start another batch of the same beer right on top of the trub?
Any tips here would be helpful.
Thanks!
