Thanks!

I made a starter yesterday the intention of brewing today. My kit didn't have the grains ground or a mesh bag so I have to get that stuff taken care of tomorrow and I won't be able to brew until Tuesday. Can I let the starter just sit out? Thanks. Todd

Hi everyone, I was given a deluxe brew kit from Norther Brewer for Christmas. I was all set to start my first brew. My Wyeast pack is activated and now I realized the pot I thought was big enough isn't. I saw on Wyeast's website that if I put the pack in the refrigerator the yeast should be...
