With my system I decided to try aerating in the brew kettle today and it worked pretty well. I just cooled the wort to 80 degrees and popped in the stone. If I drain and aerate in the fermenter, the foam causes me to stop the pump every 4-5 minutes. In the brew kettle, with all the extra head space, I can go 30 minutes without issue and then just drain the wort into the bucket. Then I drain out right under the foam.
Is there any problem with doing it this way?
I know Im sticking my stone in all kinds of hop funk (did a double black IPA today) but with a bazooka tube on my kettle I can drain out right under the foam and funk. Just wondering, since I havent ever seen anyone do it this way.
