Okay im going to go ahead and make a starter for my yeast, because I smacked the Wyeast pack and its been a couple hours and no swelling. Pretty sure the three days the yeast spent in the UPS warehouse this weekend killed it, but I want to make a starter just to make sure. How long can a starter be stored before it needs to be used. For example (my situation), im making the starter tonight and I will most likely be brewing on Sunday, cool?
 
That will be fine! Especially if it's slow starting- that will give you enough time to assure it's viable.

Thanks for the help Yooper! Unfortunately its going to take more than a little help to get the BrewCrew past my Cubbies ;)
