I have plans to brew two batches of a Strong Scotch Ale on Monday (7/1). I made a 1.6L starter of Wyeast 1728 last night (6/27). The starter is currently on my stir plate and happy as a clam. I would like to split this into two starters. What would be the easiest way to split this?
What I'm thinking is to split the well-mixed starter between two sanitized mason jars and let them chill out in the fridge for a night. Then tomorrow evening (6/29), I'll decant one, make a starter for it, ferment for 24 hours, then decant it and pitch it on brewday. The other will get its starter made on brewday and pitched the next morning.
Are there any issues with this plan?
