As an engineer (and a new brewer) I'm trying to understand the chemistry behind yeast. I'm assuming a started just increases cell count. That would lead to less time in the primary stage, because the fermentation should be quicker. If I don't mind having my primary take a couple extra days, why should I spend the time creating a starter? Does this effect flavor or ABV? Thanks in advance.
