On their website, Bells sells a Hopslam all grain kit. They also list all the ingredients (see below). Because shipping would be almost $20 and the kit includes some stuff I don't need, I'd like source the stuff at my LHBS. What I don't have is the brew instructions.
I was wondering if anyone here had advice on the hop additions.
And the other part I'm looking for guidance on is the yeast. I've never done a starter before. I know it's not rocket science, but I'm wondering that if I used the WLP001, and just used twice the amount.. could I get by without doing a starter??
