I've got a small little family brew competition that is happening the 3rd week in June. It's for mostly for pride and a 3L of Oaked Arrogant Bastard. :ban: I'm brewing a 1.067 beer and began a starter wednesday night with about 1/2 liter of wort. I wonder if you all though waiting another 2 days to step up my starter would be more beneficial to the beer than getting it brewed sooner so that it has a couple of extra days to condition?
 
Pitch it in a 2l starter today and brew tomorrow. By that point the yeast will have multiplied and be vigorously fermenting. Should be perfect for your beer.
From mrmalty.com he seems to suggest it takes only 8-16 hours to make a starter not the 2-3 days that is common.

Well I guess I should have put both as an option. ;)

I was wondering if that would work. I shall attempt it. Thanks!
