Brewing AHS's Hopdunk today, will have a 1.100 OG. Using White Labs California Ale yeast, made a 1L starter last Thursday and stepped it up to 2L on Saturday. Put it in the fridge last night so the yeast would settle. There is a nice layer of yeast on the bottom of the flask this morning, but I can see that there is still a lot of yeast in suspension. I plan to decant and pitch the slurry as I do not want to pitch such a large starter.
With such a high gravity beer I want to pitch as much yeast as I can. Should I just pitch what has already settled? Or should I wait until it all settles and pitch it then, possibly tomorrow? Is there any issues with chilling the wort this afternoon and having it sit overnight with no yeast?
Just hit a boil, so there is no waiting to brew until tomorrow!
Thanks in advance.
