So, I've done a few Barleywines and RIS with decent results using dry yeast. However, I have recently begun making yeast starters using my stir plate. I'm brewing a Old Ruffian Clone next week and have a question about aeration. I typically just shake the $hit out of the carboy to aerate the wort. I've read that for big beers it can be beneficial to re-aerate your wort after about 12 hours of fermentation. I have a aquarium pump with a HEPA filter.... should I use this to re-aerate? Would I be shooting for another 8ppm? Any advice would be great thanks.
FYI.. I will be using Wyeast's Denny's Fav. 50. It list the alcohol tolerance at 10% which is right where this beer will be.
