G'day,
I pitched a starter (recultured WLP-001) on Friday with the intent of using it in a brewday on Saturday, but It showed no evidence of starting by pitching time, so I bottled it (figuratively) and rehydrated some US-05 and pitched that instead. I didn't chuck the starter, and this morning has a good head of krausen on board and looks healthy.
Can I keep it for a week? I'm presuming it'll ferment out in a few days, so can I cold crash it, pour the beer off and give it a litre of 1.035 wort to keep it going until next Saturday?
Any advice on this matter, or on how to use the search facility taken with much appreciation.
Cheers,
