...and this morning. Looks pretty good I think.

Well, here it is after a day. It looks super thick and creamy... like maybe too much yeast at this point. Maybe i will crash it and then build one more fresh starter the day before brewing (this Friday). Pretty much guesswork at this point. I feel like there is tons of yeast in there.

I am also using an eBIAB system and have been dabbling with incorporating LODO processes. I have created three beers using these concepts with good results. I also noted a very malty smelling, clearer wort and a very white cloudy break that took forever to fall (for whatever that's worth)...

This is all great information and I appreciate all your input on this topic. I practice pretty darn good sanitation and agree that visually, the jars of yeast appear "clean". I'm gonna give it a whirl this time. I will probably do something comfortably between those who make a starter the...

Even if you naturally carbonate in the keg to avoid force carbonating; wouldn't putting it on gas for serving eventually introduce oxygen anyways?

Its all about finding what works for you. That's the key.
