I'm ready to call mularky on autolysis being an issue on the homebrew scale. My friend was injured for about a year and didn't brew. He just opened a Cal Common that had been sitting on primary yeast cake in a standard plastic bucket at 65F for almost 13 months. Smelled, tasted fine and was still bitter. He kegged it.
Certainly makes the case that we can let the primary go for 3 to 6 weeks with no worries. And the plastic bucket did not lead to oxidation issues either.
