Thanks. I wasn't able to brew this weekend unfortunately. I have placed the starter in the fridge after ~30 hours of fermenting, had a nice 3/4" yeast cake on the bottom of the growler this morning which seems good.
Will the starter be safe to use this coming weekend? I believe I need to decant the wort, allow cake to rise to room temp. and then pitch?
I'd say the yeast will be fine as long as it's sealed well and you don't have anything molding in the fridge or anything. I put mine in the fridge (only overnight, though usually) and it's always fine. I take it out about 2-3 hours before I plan on pitching, decant most of the wort, letting just a little stay in there. Then let it rise to room temp, give it a good swirl and pour it in. Curious to see how this ferments, keep us posted!
