Hey all,
I learned that I have to oxygenate the beer for the yeasties to work well. I'm using dry yeast, and I figure I want to mix them well throughout the wort.
So, what I've done three times now is boil, cool, transfer to carboy, sprinkle the yeast in, and then pick up the carboy (with my sanitized hand covering the opening) and shake it like a Polaroid picture. I have gotten three good fermentations (two that I've actually tasted and one that I am about to bottle, but everything looked OK with the Kreusen).
But is what I'm doing harmful or risky in some way?
