how long does it typically take for the yeast to consume the sugars in the wort on a stir plate, assuming normal conditions (70 degrees or so).
just to wake up the yeast to go into a larger starter for this weekend's brew, i made a one liter starter last night and pitched this am on the stir plate. once done, i'll chill, decant and pitch into a 4L starter probably thurs. i'm brewing friday night, but may pitch saturday morning, just to allow for enough time to build up the amount i need.
ftr, i'm brewing a 1.055 brown ale friday night, starting with one tube of wlp002. 11 gallons.
