I will be making a Honey Nut Brown Ale this weekend and I got the White Labs pitchable tube for yeast. From what I have read you get more consistent results from liquid yeast but there is a lag time after it is pitched.
Is there anyway to avoid this? Can a starter be made with a liquid yeast? I assume it can but I've read a few guides that say you need a dry yeast.
I have Muntons that I could use if needed as I do not have anything to make a starter in.
I've also read that the sooner the fermentation starts the better and this is why I am concerned about the lag time with the liquid being pitched in the carboy.
