Wyeast 1968 starter question

[lhommedieu]

I have to travel unexpectedly and am in the middle of making a starter. My options are to leave the starter out for 5 days or refrigerate after one day and resume again after I get back. I would expect that the yeast would consume unused sugars after I take it back out of the refrigerator.

As long as the ambient temps are reasonable, I'd leave it out

I can almost assure you that 1968 will be done after one day.

5 days probably won't hurt if the temps aren't too high. Personally, I would stick it in the fridge as i'm walking out the door.
