Northern Brewer Advantageous Weizenbock All-Grain Kit

[znott60]

Hello All

I am planning on brewing the Advantageous Weizenbock All-Grain Kit. And it calls for a yeast starter, however i have never made a started before. I was wondering how big of a starter i should make for this batch. I will be using wyeast Bavarian Wheat 3638. The SG is 1.084. Also is 1 smack pack enough or should i use 2. And also should i step up the starter if is is big enough.

Here is a link to the recipe

How did this turn out? Did you do the single infusion or the multi infusion option? Thanks!
