So I plan to brew 4 days from today but I won't be home inbetween to do anything so I was considering making a starter tonight, leave on stir plate over night, take off stir plate and leave at room temp for the next three days, decant and pitch. I'm using a beaker with a foam "stopper" in the top. Since a starter is just a mini beer I assume it will be okay for the 4 days total.
So the actual question: Will the live yeast in the 4 day starter be better to pitch then a room temp vial of WLP001?
All of the searching I have done only talks about 48 hours or less. How about 96?
