How important is it (or not) to use a yeast starter when brewing a BIAB 2.5 Gallon batch of IPA? I'm using a 3 gallon glass carboy, and just directly dumped an entire vial of White Labs WLP001 in it on my last batch. It seemed to have a pretty vigorous primary fermentation after about 12 hours for about 24 hours...
The beer resulted in fairly low alcohol content, and I have been focusing my attention on a high temp mash mistake I made. Mashed at about 156-158...
I will correct that in the next batch, but is a yeast starter really needed for a 2.5 Gallon batch?? Thx
