I had planned on it and was under the impression that I would need to with this big of a beer but one of the brewers at my LHBS said that it really wasn't necessary, just add yeast nutrients in the last 10-15 min of the boil. I'm making NB's Black Ipa extract kit with WYEAST 1272 American II. Expected OG of 1.075. Fermentation temps will be around 72 degrees.
I'd really rather not mess with a starter if i don't have to (haven't had to yet). What do you guys think and what has worked best for you?
BTW this will be my 4th batch and I'm loving making and drinking my own beer, can't beat it.
