My last beer brewed I did not quite plan ahead for... I bought the yeast day of, and started my yeast starter same day (brew day). I took my first runnings and watered it down to equal a ~1.04 wort and pitched my wyeast smack pack and threw it on a stirplate for the rest of the brewday. It grew a nice Krausen within 1 hour.
My typical brew day is ~6 hours. The primary fermentation took off like a rocket, is this a typically OK method or was I just lucky?
It worked out great and if I can do it this way everytime it would save alot of time from pre-preparing yeast starters.
