oxidation concern

[beerhound28]

Hello everyone
I am 8 days into my primary fermentation of a belgian style golden strong..I gave the the fermenter a little swirl yesterday,nothing vigorous just trying to give the yeast a little inspiration...Now i feel like i could have screwed the pooch and oxidized my batch...Its still producing Co2..so there is no need to worry about oxidation right? I really dont know why i did not just leave it alone..should i worry?

Should be ok, not too sure though. Some with more expirience should come along and give you a definate answer

A swirl is fine... Shaking the hell out of it isn't.

Relax. Your beer's not that weak.

Did you pull the lid or just rock the fermenter?

+1,a gentle swirl is ok. No worries of oxidation from that.

 

[beerhound28]

just lightly rocked it
