I'm about to brew my first batch of Kolsch Ale tomorrow and I am going to make the yeast starter now. I'm wondering if I can just make the starter and put it in the carboy so that I don't have to move it and risk contamination. Then when the wort is cooled tomorrow, I can pour it over the yeast...

I'm looking for 2 usable Ball lock corny kegs. Please let me know if you have two and your price. Thanks! Evan
