Whenever I use liquid yeast I always use the WYeast brand and smack the pack 24 hours prior to brewing/pitching. I've read on the manufacturers website that the purpose of activating the yeast 24 hours in advance it to ensure a healthy yeast. I'm wondering if it makes sense to additionally make a yeast starter with the activated pack after the 24 hours?
I would expect that a using yeast starter would make sense if the wyeast was washed/re-used from a prior batch.
