High all, I am new here and been brewing for about a year. This may be a total noob question but do I really need to be making a starter. I make many different beers so I use different yeast. I do use Wyeast liquid yeast and the package says I can use direct but everything I read says that I need to build a starter. What kind of change would I get if I used a starter? My fermentation starts within ten hours and I do my primary for six to seven days in the mid sixty degree range. If it matters I make heavy , dark beers, now just finishing a weizenbock at about 8 to 9 percent.
