A quick search brings this topic up as the only topic on LODO subject on AHB with the last posts being a couple of months ago so I was wondering if there have been any more recent updates by those following this methodology/experience.
While on the subject of LODO wouldn't any kit beer manufactured/produced in a modern brewery have most if not all of the implied benefits due to brew water being degassed, grain wet/moist milled/crushed, malt added to the mash tun under inert conditions via some sort of flooded screw feed etc. and then boiled under vacuum conditions. Fermenting these beers under pressure and controlled temperature with NO exposure to oxygen from the commencement of fermentation through to consumption would appear to offer close to a beer that is oxidation free provided you liked the kit and how you might pimp it.
I acknowledge that in general kit products are not every ones cup of tea (and I don't currently use them instead producing fresh wort in a 20lt Braumeister) as they are constrained by the makers recipe with respect to grain bill and hop schedule.
Cheers
