Hi all, I'm looking for some advice on how to make inline aeration using an aquarium air pump work.
I have a 2 micron airstone inline after my plate chiller. It's connected to my aquarium pump which has max pressure of 2psi.
My problem is, unless I'm running my chugger at really low flow, the wort runs through my airstone backwards into the hosing. If I run the pump at low flow I'm not sure the wort is actually getting aerated. Also means I can't adjust flow to regulate the temperature out of my plate chiller.
Seems like I need a higher pressure aquarium air pump. Any ideas what psi would be necessary? Has anyone made something like this work?
I want to stick with air not oxygen for various reasons.
