I was going to brew an Oktoberfest ale yesterday (Wednesday) but the yeast starter I pitched Tuesday night seemed to be dead in the water yesterday afternoon so I gave up on the idea. (It was the White Labs German Ale/Kolsch strain, btw.)
After reading a few threads on this board, I decided to wrap a towel around the flask and within 3 hours I was getting great activity (but, by that time, it was too late to start brewing).
Now I am looking toward a brew day on Saturday (3 days away) and I am wondering what I should do with the starter. It's still bubbling away happily this morning. I just don't have any experience with using the yeast over a day after I make my starter.
As always, any help would be greatly appreciated!
