I have an aquarium pump with a SS stone and a filter. Here is what I have done in the past but not sure if it is right.
After chilling my wort to 68-70*, I pour from BK into a sanitized bucket with a lid that has a hole in it that my air line runs through so I can set the stone on the bottom of the bucket and close it up while having the stone in the bucket.
I let it aerate for 30 min while I clean up and decant my starter. After 30 min, I pitch into the bucket, stir it up, and then pour from bucket into carboy just to get everything mixed up with some more O2.
I am over doing it? Should I pitch and then aerate? Should I keep up what I am doing?
