I'm going to be brewing this Saturday morning, but I just realized I won't be home on Friday until at least 11pm. This has made me consider my options for timing my yeast starter. In order to pitch at noon on Saturday, is it better to getting the starter going late on Friday night (and hopefully get 12 hours on the stir plate) or get the starter going Thursday night (so, I'd say 38+ hours on the stir plate)? I would usually do the starter early Friday evening, but since that isn't an option what's the best way to handle it? I've never kept a starter stirring for more than 24 hours...
