What do with yeast starter?

[zero_gabe]

So i made a yeast starter on friday hoping that i would be able to brew today. But things came up and i wasnt able to. Now the problem is i wont be able to until next weekend. What can i do with my yeast starter to save it for next week? Will i have to do another starter? Will it be good to pitch as is? Whats the est way to store this starter? Thanks guys!

I would boil the crap out of a canning jar to sanitize, toss it in there, wrap in a towel and toss it in the fridge. As for another starter its not going to hurt but totally not needed. I am a big fan of the vacuum seal of a canning jar.

+1 and if you like to pitch your starters at high krausen you can always step that slurry up with another liter of wort towards the end of the week.

Should to op when Going to add more wort first decant the old wort?

Yep. Leave just enough to be able to swirl and loosen up the yeast in the jar to be able to pitch it into new 1.035 wort and step it up again.
