Yeast Starter Begun

Due to the untimely demise of my Rolled Up Irish Red, I began a yeast starter yesterday morning.  I fed and watered it and kept it warm all day, then popped it in the fridge last night before bed.  When I got up this morning, I poured the beer off and left the yeast slurry in the bottom.  After letting it come to room temperature, I boiled another pot of wort, chilled it, and dumped it in the yeast bottle.  I may be pitching the yeast tomorrow or Tuesday - depends on how I feel.  But if the next batch fails, it won't be because of the yeast!
