I have made a few batches of beer thus far and they have all been great. I have only ever used dry yeast so I'm wandering why I should spend more money to get liquid yeast. Is there an advantage to liquid?
Just a side note - if you do go to liquid make a starter. Once I started making starters (lol) the fermentation started quickly and super vigorous. Also, IMO I have made better beers using starters and they easy/fun to make!
Is it possible to make a starter out of liquid yeast and already boiled wort?
All the starters I've seen online involve boiling fresh water and mixing w/ DME. That doesn't make sense to me if I'm coming from an AG batch to all of a sudden mix in a foreign DME.
Here you go...there's plenty of threads just like this. But I put some links in here.

More variety of liquid yeasts over dry, other than that probably not too much.
Liquids do not necessarily require starters but it helps most of the time where with dry you should NOT use starters!
Just my 2 pennies worth!
