I've seen it mentioned that after pitching yeast, one should aerate the carboy for a full minute. And you can potentially do this within the first 24 hours.
My question pertains more to the later stages of the fermenting process.
Does anyone aerate after racking to secondary?
Personally, I "aerate" the priming solution while in the bottling bucket... and that's the only way I can get consistent carbonation. I have even attempted turning 4 bottles from my last batch upside down a couple times to see how far an "even solution" goes toward the final result.
Soo.... I'm still wondering.... Does anybody aerate after racking to secondary??
By aerate, I really just mean -- "swirl, mix, etc". Not necessarily "splash".
