I've used wyeast smack packs that come with yeast nutrients in their packs to make starters before - but this is the first time for me with a whitelabs vial.

I'm planning on making a starter and have some youngs yeast nutrient, and was wondering if it's a good idea to add some?

And if so how much? It'll be approx a 1 ltr starter (2 cups water to 1/2 cup dme)
 
I found a youtube whitelabs vid - she says 1/8 of a teaspoon per 2ltrs

Hi, I would imagine it will turbo charge the yeast before it reaches the wort, so on balance probably all good!
