Apologise if this have been covered before, I did a bit of a search first.
I am making a beer on the weekend going to use S-04. 42L with 1.068 OG (planned).
Beersmtih recommends 519 billion which is 3 packets of dry yeast.
I have made a few starters now using liquid yeast, why cant I do the same using only 1 packet of S-04?
I have never re-hydrated dry yeast but it seems like if I am gonig to re-hydrate, it is about the same amount of effort to do a starter, so why not do a starter instead?
