Thinking about going AG. I will need a new bigger brew pot however - I was thinking of the 10 gallon mega pot from Northern Brewer with valve and thermometer. I am only interested in 5 gallon batches, so I think this will be more than big enough for me.
Now my question is... with my extract batches I pour the cooled wort from the pot through a strainer into my fermentor. If the pot has a valve, I presume you run a hose from the valve on the pot to the fermentor?? Now is that ok, because I thought that you need to aerate the wort as you put it into the fermentor. If you run it though a hose, it wont add so much oxygen right?
