I purchased a 2 Micron Stainless Steel Diffusion aeration stone. I also purchased a cheap aquarium pump that indicates it is for a 5 - 10 gal. aquarium. I brewed a IPA last night and used my new aeration system for the first time. It was late by the time I was finishing up but I could not see bubbles or anything coming out of the stone. I let it run for about 40 minutes. I was told by the guy at the LHBS to keep an eye on it as it could potentially cause a lot of foam. I got none. I am not sure it is working?
Is there supposed to be any noticeable effect that you can observe while this thing is working?
I did not pitch my yeast (1/2 gallon starter) until about 10:30PM and had a very active airlock when I checked it at 6:00AM this morning so I am assuming all is well.
