I was reading a Pliny the Younger recipe (I got Russian River literally 4 blocks from my house :]) from themadfermentastionist.com and in the 'notes' section, the author states that they made a 2.5qt starter and then "crash chilled" it 37F three days later. Clue me in here on what there talking about when making a starter, i know aerating is important (not using an airlock on the flask?) but is chilling prior to pitching important? That seems redundant???
