So I made a 250 ml starter of 1.040 wort, and added the dregs from 4 rogue bombers (two were chocolate stout, 2 were Santa's helper ale or whatever). Now I'm wondering: should I let it sit and ferment on its own, or should I throw it on a stir plate? Seems like a completely sanitary environment would be beneficial since I'm using tired, old, and weak dregs (they won't have to compete with other organisms), but then it seems like a stir plate would really help get them going and replicate faster (although it does obviously expose them to competing organisms).
Thoughts? I searched and found people suggesting both ways for the first step in this process.
