Hey all,
Yesterday (Thursday) I had malt milled and began my first lager-yeast starter.
With ales I start the night before and have high kreuzen for a midday pitch by the following day.
This morning, after noticing no discernible activity, I read that lager starters should sit on the stir plate for 1-2 days. Should have thought of this, as lagers have a slower start.
Will my milled gain's quality diminish to the point it would affect my lager, if I waited to brew until Saturday or Sunday?
Thanks!
