Hi, all. I've done a search for this question, but can't find the answer. And given the number of starter questions every weekend, I think a starter sticky might be in order (I've seen some disputes over items in the wiki (disputed issues on this site? No way!).
I've made a gallon starter of Wyeast Abbey Ale yeast for the Chimay Red clone I'm planning for tomorrow. I pitched into the starter last night, and today, it is bubbles and foam a-go-go.
Now what?
I'd like to brew tomorrow, but I don't think I should pitch this entire gallon into the fermenter. I also don't think it will stop fermenting by tomorrow. Should I put it in the fridge tonight so the yeast will settle down, decant and pour? Or should I wait for a few more days (I'd rather not, but will if I have to).
Apologies if this has been asked and answered before.
Thanks,
CB
