In some places I've read to make a starter 12 to 24 hours before brewing. Then the starter is pitched at high krausen into the fermenter.
In other places I've read to make the starter several days ahead of time, settle the yeast out in a fridge, then decant off the top part of the starter and just pitch the yeast from the bottom.
I assume both methods work reasonably well otherwise so many people wouldn't use each method. So... which way do you do it and why?
