I woke up this morning (8 hours after pitching) and realized that I forgot to aerate my wort! (I had to hold off on pitching for a few hours after brewing) I put my O2 stone in this morning and got about 30 sec of O2 in before it wanted to bubble over, and put the blow off tube back on.
I know in the first few hours of lag that the yeast take up all of the O2 and that adding some later can a myriad of problems ( I'm hoping not since the yeast hadn't taken any in yet).
OK enough rambling- can anyone put my mind at ease and say it will be alright?
Is the lack of O2 in the wort for 8 hours after pitching going to hurt?
Other than the lag in Aeration time I pitched the correct amount of yeast for a 1.054OG and everything else was great.
Thoughts, comments.
Thanks
