Hi Folks,
First I would just like to say, been reading the forum for quite a while and have learned lots, so thanks to everybody in advance.
Now on to my problem, I was getting ready to brew in a couple days, so I created a starter yesterday. Now I feel that Brew day will have to be pushed back( days, possibly 2 weeks).
How long is the starter good for? Is it possible for me to leave it for weeks, and then skim off the yeast slurry and create another starter.
I know this question has been asked before, but I found the answer a bit unclear, so basically what I would like to know is how long is a created starter good for before it should be pitched down the drain, and what are the techniques if any to prolong the life of the starter?
Thanks
