I forgot to prepare my yeast starter

[Proofman]

I was going to brew this afternoon but I forgot to prepare my yeast starter. Since today will be the only time I will have to brew the next several days, is it feesible to prepare my starter, brew this afternoon (prepare the wort, cool it, transfer it to fermenter, aerate it, etc.) and add the yeast once the starter is ready later?

Yes, overnight is better, but 8 hours is better than none. Make the starter now and pitch it once the wort is ready, there is small benefit in delaying the pitch.
