You think 5 or 6 caps straight into wort will be fine or will a starter be more effective? Have you tried using only the Swanson probiotics, if so what was your method for souring. I have read many mixed reviews on hows others have done it...
I use OYL-605 most of the time since it has never failed me. I had one pouch that was past exp and I was suspect. I added Swanson L Plantarum caps into the starter and all went fine.
I know many who just pitch direct into wort. To me, it stands to reason that making a starter with the caps would give the lacto a head start and get it working and ready for the big pitch. If you go the straight into wort route, I'd be interested in hearing your results. I bet it will work just fine.
