I plan on brewing a Belgian Wit next week after the excess of Christmas. I'll pitch the starter probably Tuesday. It is a brand new WLP400 tube. I'll be making enough for a 2L starter and some stubbies for later. Question is is there any point in making a starter to my final recipe - in this case pilsner malt, raw wheat and oats? Or just use DME? I don't really want to make a mini brew of 5L (laziness) but then again if it is better for the future starters as it will be fully adapted I will. I'll always be using the yeast in this kind of brew so maybe it makes sense.
Any thoughts?
