Brew day today! Making my first NEIPA...

Only thing is I forgot to make my starter last night, and I am leaving for NOLA at about 3 today... Whats the shortest amount of time you need for a starter? I have a stir plate. It's been going since 10AM. should I just wait to pitch till I come back tomorrow? Pitch it at 3 today? Get a brewing buddy to pitch it later tonight?

Yesterday, I decided to brew, but didn't have time for a full brew day, so I made an extract beer and used kveik for the first time. This stuff is an absolute monster.

I pitched the yeast at 2:30 pm and then left the house for a crawfish boil. Got back to the house 4 hours later and the beer already had a krausen on it. I checked the gravity this morning, now 18 hours since pitching, and it is down to 1.030 from 1.051. Considering the estimate F.G. to be 1.010, this beer has reached 50% completion overnight.
