I've seen a few very similar aquarium pump threads that talk about using a pump to aireate the wort. I just picked up a pump at Walmart that is designed for a 5-15 gallon aquarium. Its max output is 1200 ci per minute. Is that enough output for a five or ten gallon batch. I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a formula to figure out how long to aireate your wort for when you have a given output volume. Or, does it matter, just blow bubbles for a while and pitch your yeast?
