About to start a brew day. Should be about 7 hours total.
I just pitched San Fran Lager yeast (white labs) into my starter. The yeast turned out to be a little old (is now at 60% viability, as per Mr. Malty).
The specifics are below but my question is whether it's best to pitch after I'm done brewing (in about 7 hours), or let the wort sit overnight (giving the starter more time) and pitch tomorrow...or do something else?
Thoughts?
details:
5 Gallon batch
1.050 target OG
aerate with aquarium pump
could run to LHBS during brew (but he doesn't have San Fran Lager yeast)
I'm probably neglecting some relevant info, but can't think of anything else right now to mention. But I'll be checking this during the brew...
Thanks!!!
