I'm brewing a Smoked Porter tomorrow and am going to be using two new processes tomorrow. I've googled and searched but nothing has clicked in my head as properly explaining it all.
#1: Fly Sparging: I'm going to be fly sparging with around 2 gallons. I built a fairly simple fly sparge device with PVC and small holes. When do I begin sparging and at what rate? My MLT is a 48 quart rectangular cooler, if it helps.
#2: Wort Aeration: This'll be the first time that I'm using a wort aeration kit. It's fairly simple - aquarium pump to filter to diffusion stone. The question I have is how long do I need to use it for before I pitch the yeast?
