I am brewing my first sour and have a question about my secondary fermentation... So I have brewed a Belgium blond and I am getting ready to rack into my secondary where I will be adding my lambic yeast. So the question is, should I make a yeast starter with DME or just dump the blend straight from the package? I'm guessing I should make a starter like I do normally but I'm not sure.... Any help would be appreciated.
 
Which blend? Many of the packaged blends from yeast companies contain various microbes in certain proportions. Making a starter with these blends can knock the proportions out and affect the profile of the fermentation. Just toss 'er in.
