I made a starter Thursday for my NB Sustainor Nontraditional Bock using 2 Wyeast Hella-Bock smack packs and the last of my DME and put it in the fridge so I could decant and pitch the yeast slurry Sunday. My plan started out that I would brew Saturday, but I changed my mind and decided Sunday would be better. So I figured on Saturday, I would grab some DME at my LHBS (Just Brew It Fayetteville) while I was out taking my trailer full of junk to the dump, and use the DME to step up my starter to be pitched Monday.
Well, I got a flat tire on my trailer on the way to the junk yard and I didn't make it to the LHBS. As it turned out I wasn't able to brew Sunday morning but rather Sunday evening. So I have my carboy in the fridge to cool it to 50-52F and was wondering if I should step up my starter and pitch late Monday or Tuesday afternoon. Or just go ahead and pitch the starter I have today.
What do you guys think?
Cliff notes:
5 Gal batch. SG 1.064
Made 2.5L starter Thursday using 2 Wyeast smack packs to pitch Sunday.
That didn't happen.
Wound up brewing Sunday evening and wort is in fridge cooling.
Can I pitch today with the starter I have or should I step it up and pitch after the yeast settle?
Or are there other options?
Oops. Just Brew It is closed on Mondays. Guess I'll head to Brewmasters Warehouse
