I'm really trying to brew this Sunday and can't make it out to my LHBS until then. I was planning on building up a starter from previous homebrews' bottle sediment, which were made with a starter of Wyeast 1056 American Ale, but Brew Day snuck up on me and now there's no way I can get the starter healthy enough for a 5gal batch.
I'm planning on grabbing the yeast out of 4 bottles of homebrew tonight and making a starter that should ferment at least once before Sunday. Assuming I know how to build up a starter correctly, could I combine this second generation 1056 with a first generation straight from the packet?
