Alright, I decided to try and take my first culture from a bottle last night. I have quite a bottle collection in the fridge building, and had some extra time after removing the carburetor from my motor bike, so what the hell, why not culture/develop some yeast. I chose the Sierra Nevada Torpedo because I have been told Sierra Nevada bottle conditions with fermentation yeast via this link.
I didn't follow the steps from the article exactly as follows, but there definitely seems to be some yeast development on the bottom of my flask after sitting on the stir plate for approximately 14.5 hrs.
My question is how long do I need to leave this on the stir plate because I need to get a yeast starter going to for a pumpkin ale I plan on brewing this Sunday, so I was hoping I could decant some wort from the flask and pour the remaining wort/yeast into a jar and put it in the fridge, and then start culture back up in a couple of days. Is this going to totally F things up, or is this advisable?
