Conditioning and OG questions

[Travis K. Jansen]

Can I use malt from my extract kit to make my starter, or do I need to purchase a bag of DME to make one? I'm thinking a starter might help prevent this next time and I've never made one. Using Omega yeast.

Racked and carbonated yesterday and force carbonated. After a long day of baseball tournament for my son, I took a pull from it. It was freaking delicious. No off flavors, good banana flavor. Not great head retention though.

I'm not sure if anyone is still watching this thread, but I had about 10 pints from it, including one I just opened at my desk today at work, and it turned out phenomenal!! Thank you all for the help you provided, I'm so stoked I was able to brew my own hefe-weizen to my liking and have it taste like it came from the store. Fresh ale at my fingertips is going to be a dangerous thing.
