I planned a yeast starter 24 hours ahead of my brew day, it ate up all the started and fermented just fine… but brew day came and all of a sudden my free day became very busy and I was unable to brew as planned… i do plan to do the batch this coming weekend so if i put my yeast back in the fridge should i be okay?
Cheers!

Yes, it’ll be fine. Just chill it for a few days in the beer it made, then do a new starter as usual when you have your next brew day. If it’s going to be longer than a couple of weeks should ideally decant the beer and replace it with sterile water, but even if you didn’t it would most likely be just fine.
Awesome! I appreciate the help, i am going to DOUBLE check that my weekend will be free this time around…
CHEERS!
Should be OK, stick it in the fridge, and you can just pull it out a week later and dump it in.
HOWEVER, for the least lag time, dumping some fresh wort on the yeast a day or two before brew day would be a good idea. It is always nice to catch the yeast at their peak!!
Rest easy and may your next week-end go better!
