I have a 1.6 liter starter of WLP400 (White Labs Belgian Wit) going for a white IPA. Normally I would put the starter in the fridge for 24 hours and decant all the spent fluid and just pitch the yeast.

I am afraid that with such low flocculation I will be throwing out most of my yeast if I do this. Any suggestions?
 
If you put it in the fridge for a 12-24 hours, you'll probably get 80-90% of the yeast to settle. More than enough..... No worries.
