I plan to brew a barleywine/pale ale partigyle in about a week. Brew date is a little difficult to nail down due to family stuff.
I have 1 stir plate and 2 flasks. I am pitching 2 yeast strains and stepping up the barleywine starter. I am planning to make the starters and do the step up over the next 5 days or so. As a result, the starters will probably sit for a 2 to 5 days in the fridge before I am ready to pitch. Is this a problem? Will I need to get the yeast going prior to pitching? Should I add about a liter of starter wort to the flasks about 12 hours before pitching?
Thanks.
