Pitch that starter man! 20 hours is good enough. As long as you are pitching the entire thing then pitch now. If you are waiting to let it ferment out, then you should have started the yeast starter two days from brew day, giving it 24 hours to build, then chill overnight, decant and pitch...

You will be good, try to use it within a two or three week period though. Otherwise decant the old beer and dump some fresh made starter wort(DME) in (about 1L) and step it up again. Then use next day at high krausen. 12-18 hours from addition.

What is your fastest start to finish time for this yeast ? I had one finish in 3 full days !! :rockin: Anyone faster ??

I agree with Yooper, you need enough water in the mash for 1.5 to 2.0 qts/lb. Then hope you have 3 gal or more for the sparge.

Barley Crusher grain mill for sure. Get yourself some feeler gauges to set up the right gap as well, as it it adjustable. I took my efficiency to 80% from 67% from the grind alone. I have mine set at .034.
