Ok so I didnt think about it while I was doing it (first mistake) but I made a yeast starter last week for an american hef I made on saturday using WLP320. I made the starter, let it sit for 36 hours, refrigerated for 24 hours, decanted, warmed to room temp, and pitched. After I was done I got to thinking that being as hef yeasts dont flocculate much perhaps decanting the started was a bad idea. Does the type of yeast matter when deciding to decant or pitch the whole starter?
As a side note the yesties got going within 8 hours and look like they are already winding down. So from a results standpoint I would answer my question by saying it dosnt matter. I was just wondering about everyone elses opinion.
