Hey everyone, I'm about to brew up my Brewer's Best Kolsch kit that I bought, and wanted to ask a couple questions about making a starter (I made a starter my last batch but I still have some unanswered questions).
First off, I am currently using my only two growlers with the Hefeweizen I just bottled, meaning I need to think of what I am going to house the starter in. Do you think this water bottle I have would be sufficient? It is stainless steel inside, would that matter at all? Here are some pics:

Second, because I don't know any of my own light DME, I am going to be using some of the kit. Does this mean I shouldn't decant the yeast starter when it comes to brewing day? Is this going to affect the taste of my brew?
