Well, 48 hours on & my brew sat like a big bucket of brownish water. OG is 1.046 same as when I started. I bit the bullet & pitched a CPA starter I had prepared earlier.
I have a real problem with leaving a brew sitting doing nothing for 48+ hours. I have never had an infection but this seems to be the best way to catch one!
Still, I'd love to hear from anyone who tried this & ended up with a decent brew.

Your lag times are way to long folks and you are inviting trouble.
I would suggest that things will be OK but you really need a good healthy starter or a 15 g package of hydrated dry yeast to make a good beer.
Believe me, I used to screw around at low levels of yeast, but after trying a big health pitch I was convinced.
