I have looked around and this topic has been discussed in passing as to why you do it and how to prevent it, etc.
But I thought it would be helpful to start a thread to discuss various methods. In the past I have cooled my wort in the brew pot and then put it in the fermentor and aerated by dumping the water from gallon jugs into the fermentor from a height. This adds a lot of air for sure. My upcoming brew I am using tap water and was wondering what the best method is (I don't want to buy aeration equipment).
I just wanted to get everyone's opinion and compare methods.
Thanks.
