I'm getting ready to attempt to make a starter for the first time. I've got about 6 batches under my belt using smack packs. (always seemed to work fine). But every one here swears by doing it. My question is how long can the starter sit before i pitch. I'm away 4 days a week, I like to brew on my first day home,so the starter would be 4-5 days old before I used it.
thanks
