I haven't yet made any yeast starters, ut will soon - I just finished making a stir plate and it seems to work fine.
But something I am curious about ................
All the articles I read and Youtube videos I see refer to use of liquid yeast to make a starter.
The next batch of beer I will make is a partial grain kit (Brewers Best Imperial Pale Ale) and it comes with a
packet of Safale dry yeast.
Would it be a good idea to make a starter with the dry yeast, or do I just hydrate the yeast before pitching it?
If it is not needed or recommended to make a starter with a dry yeast, why would that be? Just curious!
