You mean without a starter?
No i meant without adding any other yeast first.
There's an interesting point. Does pitch rate mater with such a blend? Will the balance of yeast to bacteria change? Surely making a starter will only raise the Saccharomyces cell count in the short term? I believe, Brettanomyces pitch rate is less important, given the time they take to ferment.
I wonder what the cell count is when wort is pitched into a barrel or by inoculated in a coolship?
