I've never used one myself and was just wondering if it makes a big difference? I usually use the liquid yeast you smack and give a it a few hours and it swells up like crazy.
I'm thinking my next brew is gonna be a Barley Wine and I remember reading somewhere that for a big beer you really should use a starter. True? And if so how do I make one with the liquid yeast? Do I smack it as usual, let it swell and then mix it with boiled sugar and water?
Thanks.
