Do I need a yeast starter?

Yeast & Fermentation

I am going to be making a White IPA that has an OG of 1.057. I am pitching a Wyeast Belgian Witbier 3944 smack pack. I have a 1000ml yeast starter kit that i got from NB. Any thoughts? Thanks!!

Yes… but don’t take my word. Listen to good old Mr.Malty.

My experience is that you will make better beer if you make a starter for any beer over 1.040 OG.
