Is there anyway to check for contamination of yeast in a starter prior to pitching? Would hate to ruin 5 gallons.
 
You can put the starter in the fridge pour off the beer from the yeast that settles and taste it. If it tastes clean then your good.

Theoretical differences between a starter and a normal fermentation. Why not make the yeast starter just like a baby beer?
