Using starter after 9 days?

[merkinman]

I made up a starter a few days ago that I planned on using Saturday, but circumstances prevented me from brewing on that day. I normally use my starters 48-36 hours after creating them so to pitch at high krausen, but I know others wait for the starter to completely ferment.

Since I am not usually one to use a starter after completely fermenting it, what is the procedure for doing such?

Thanks.

Warm to ferment temperature (if not already), decant, then swirl to mix and pitch, it'll be fine.

Let the starter ferment out. I usually wait three days then put it in the refrigerator. On brew day take it out a couple of hours before you`re going to pitch and let it warm up to room temp. Then when your ready to pitch decant most of the wort, leave just enough to get a loose slurry and pitch away.
