Hi. I am new to brewing with only a few brews under the belt and now starting to explore improvements. I did a yeast starter from dry yeast from SafAle wb-06 Yeast 11.5g. Making hefeweizen small batch of 5l to test before going to 23l. This pack of yeast is suppose to be enough for 20 to 30l of beer but I hear a starter is always better. It's been 24h with regular stirring and now I put it in the fridge to settle out. I will pull off the starter wort and only use yeast settled to bottom and pitch that 24h later into batch. The cells probably have increased but using a yeast calculator not by much. Is it then even necessary. I also read that over pitching yeast is bad as well so now not sure which way to go. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
