Yeast starter question

[rjolin01]

I made a yeast starter back on Tuesday and put on stir plate with plans to brew either Thursday or Friday (today), however that's not happening. Monday tho is promising! Should I leave starter on stir plate or should I refrigerate it? Or start from scratch?

I would put it in the fridge, which will cold crash the yeast. When you brew, decant the clear stuff and just pitch the slurry. I do that with most of my batches.

exactly this. it's usually good to refrigerate and decant before pitching anyways, so you're not pitching plain starter wort into your delicious brew.
