I made up a starter Monday morning, thinking I'd be brewing that evening. Well, life happened...three days in a row. My California Ale starter has been going for the better part of four days now.
So I'm faced with a choice: Brew tonight and pitch as normal, or wait until the weekend, get a new vial, start a new starter, etc. I'd think the starter is fine after this much time. Most of the fermentables are probably gone, and the yeast may be going dormant, but I can't see anything being wrong with it...although I could be mistaken.
What would you do in this situ?
