I was doing research into a Belgian trippel. In doing so, I found the Wyeast smack pac that has 100 billion cells...no starter needed. But, looking at beersmith program, the yeast starter page for my recipe(1.080 OG) it states I should use a starter to obtain 280 billion yeast cells that are needed.
What is the difference in beer with a starter and without? Is there a flavor difference? fermentation time?
