I usually brew using my tap water after running it through a filter and using campden tablet. My first yeast starter (for a Kolsch) is going right now and it just hit me I forgot to add a bit of campden pre boil. Will this cause issues even if I plan on decanting most of the liquid prior to pitching on brew day? Mr. Malty calculated a 1.5L starter. I would rather start over and buy new yeast if it might affect the final product down the line.
 
I have chloramine in my water and always use campden for brewing but I never bother with my starters. Never had an issue.
 
Thanks for the responses. I figured it wouldn't be a major issue, just never dealt with a starter before. Looking forward to this one. Thanks!
