For worts with SG > 1080 The new Jamil/White yeast book advises a second round of aeration 12 to 18 hours after pitching. Benefits include decreased diacetyl & acetaldehyde as well as lower finishing gravity. Is this advisable regardless of whether or not visible fermentation has begun?

I have a 1085 sg tripel in the fermenter now. I pitched 10 hours ago with 30 secs pure o2 and already see activity. Is it advisable to hit it with 30 more secs of pure o2?
