I usually try to make a starter 24-48 hours before any brew.
I used to pitch my Yeast dry (when using dry yeast), but my LHBS talked me into making a starter.
Since that time I notice my beers ferment better & taste better (that could just be in my mind).
Anyway I totally dropped the ball on making a starter.
I have to pitch my Yeast this evening at 8 tonight.
Are there any benefits or drawbacks to making a starter that will only grow for 6 hours.
I am using S-05 for a low 5.3% abv?
Or should I just pitch dry?
