I see lots of guys on here have some sort of way of aerating the wort before pitching . I was considering buying a o2 kit when I started doing all grain. But on my last two all grain batches I have forgot to do any sort of aeration, Just siphoned into my carboy and pitched my yeast. Both of these beers I had airlock action in 8 hours( no starter with liquid yeast). So I ask this, is it really necessary? From what I have read the only reason to aerate is for the yeast, which I have not had a problem with with no aeration, so im having a hard time to change anything. Granted I have yet to brew a "big beer" which may be the reason. What are yalls thought?
