I bought the Russian Imperial Stout kit from Brewer's Best. The O.G. is going to be anywhere between 1.078 - 1.082. I normally always make a starter for a gravity as big as this, but i wasn't able to make one yesterday and this is the only day I have to brew.
I'm replacing the dry yeast (Saf04)with a smack pack (1084 Irish Ale). My question is, have any of you ever made a high gravity beer without a starter, and if so how does it turn out? thanks!
