Hello all,
I have not made a starter for any of my beers. I always use the activator or "Smack Packs" from Wyeast and have never had a problem with this method. What are the advantages to using a starter over these activator packs?
I am getting fermentations starting in ~3-5 hours and have never had a beer "not work".
I realize that the nerdiness factor is great and I like that, but my time is at a premium and I just don't know if using starters is worth it.
Thanks,
A curious Kabouter
