Bad judgement?

[duskb]

About a week and a half ago I brewed a starter using some washed London Ale yeast WLP013 (I believe) and a pint and a half of DME. I had fully intended to get a brew going that week but got sidetracked to the point where I couldn't get to it.

Here I am a week and a half later and I'm wondering if it's even worth risking this starter in a new brew or should I dump it and get new yeast. I know if it were a batch of beer a week and a half is young but for a starter? I dunno....I've never waited this long to pitch one.

Comments?

Was it covered, in the fridge? How was the smell, taste? If it smells, tastes and looks ok i would use it.

It should be fine. You can always make another starter using the yeast from the old starter to know for sure.

yes it fermented in a sanitized extract container out on the countertop.

It appears to smell ok, havent tasted yet but would before I got there.
