San Diego super yeast (wlp090)

First time I've tried to add hops at 80 using the gf, turns out it's very easy to burn your fingers! Other than that and the pump valve getting clogged up its been a straight forward brew day.
 
It was going by last night so a 24 hour lag, not the end of the world but I'd definitely prefer shorter. If I want to make a starter can I just use a pop bottle?
