Hey guys, quick question. This is the first time I've made a yeast starter. I'm planning on brewing a Belgian Tripel tomorrow evening with an OG of 1.085 so I figure this was a good brew to try a starter on. Anyway I made a 2 quart starter with about 14 oz. extra light DME. Now my recipe calls for 8 lbs of extra light DME, should I subtract the 14 oz. from the recipe since I plan on pitching the whole starter?
 
No, this 8 lbs is to get more fermentabiles in wort.
Starter extract will be fermented by the time you pitch it.
