I am curious about something on aeration!!! Do you really need a stone for this or can you just run a tube into the wort with a fish tank pump blowing air into the wort......it would still bubble and add O2 to the wort......
Baron von BeeGee said:Using an O2 aerator is a bit of hassle in the sense that you need to sanitize the stone and hose (which isn't that big of a deal, but still an extra step). OTOH, it takes 60-90 seconds, is extremely effective, has less chance of infection than pouring between buckets, and entails no possibility of a chiropractor visit.

Actually, we have some new neighbors from California. Maybe I can open an O2 bar in the garage and break even.Brewpastor said:And you can sit around and puff pure O2 for kicks!:cross:
