Hi all,
This Sunday we'll be making a Saison Dupont clone (with an all-extract recipe). When I received my ingredients in the mail I noticed that the Belgian abbey ale yeast was a smack pack. Now, I've never used a smack pack before, but I have made starters for my bigger beers, with success.
Do I make a starter from this smack pack? If so, when; 24 hours, 48 hours before pitching? And are there any negatives associated with doing so?
Thanks.
