I think you're confusing oxidation with aeration now.

I dont doubt that haha. What would be the difference in this situation though? Obviously a beer would be oxidized if you aerated it after fermentation, but since it hasnt fermented yet wouldnt it become un-oxidized during fermentation? Aeration is the process of introducing air into a substance while oxidation is once its already mixed. If the air can and does leave something thats oxidized though, wouldnt its back to normal?

BTW, im not sure to argue if it comes off that way. I'm just trying to learn :D

Referring to the starter beer tho, which has fermented at this point. And the off flavors of that fermentation (whether due to high temps, continuous aeration, whatever) are already there. Then combining that with fresh wort, I think those flavors (though much diluted) would still be present.

I dunno, I've tasted the decanted starter beer before and sometimes it does not taste great. Like I said, it hasn't dissuaded me from still pitching whole starters. Sounds like a good side by side experiment. For someone else to try that is..

Having sompls's HB saison. It's the cottage house recipe from this site, which I've also brewed before, so it's interesting to compare. Pretty similar if my memory serves, use 3711?

After waiting for my Paradisaea at Forest & Main, I had a Wojtek imperial porter - excellent in refreshing.
