2 yeast starts with one stir plate

I am planning on brewing 2 beers this weekend. I want to make starters for both of them but I only have 1 stir plate. I do have 2 Erlenmeyer flasks. How would be the best way to go about making both starters?

If I'm brewing on Sunday, should I start the first one on Tuesday? Let it go for 2 days. Then put it in the refrigerator? Then start the second one of Thursday? Let it go for 2 days and then refrigerate it?

Then bring them both out on Sunday and let them sit out for a few hours?

That sounds like a plan. When the starter is cool the yeast will sediment quicker so you can pour off the spent wort easier.

Definitely take yeast out of the fridge on brewday, let it warm. If you have some additional sterile wort, then you can decant the spent wort and pitch the fresh wort as soon as the yeast has come up to room temp. Otherwise, if you have no sterile wort, then just wait until you're ready to pitch into the main brew and decant the spent wort before pitching.
