I have read in several locations and podcasts that the folic acid in olive oil can be used to reduce lag times in fermentation and actually replace the need to oxygenate wort- but a study at New Belgium Brewery showed the the shelf life of finished beer is reduced signifigantly from this method-
Since we decant and pour off the finished beer from our yeast starters has anyone tried olive oil for a starter?
