My kit to brew my belgian dubbel is coming later today. I have some WLP530 belgian abbey ale yeast, and I want to make a starter. The brown santa will be at my house around 4pm on friday and I want to brew on saturday afternoon. Do i have enough time to make a stater? or should I just brew the other kit I have that I've done with dry yeast and wait on the dubbel? Thanks in advance

sure. get it going today and it should definitely be ready in 24 hours. use the following website to determine how large of a starter to make:

Plenty of time for a starter. There are many experts who say the best time topitch from a starter is at peak activity which is often right around the 18-24 hour range depending on conditions and oxygen. I don't think there is much downside to waiting longer though.
