I'm not sure the outcome and effects of this, but can I pitch yeast into an Oktoberfest after it had been lagered for three weeks? My FG was 1.020 and I got a wild hair to try to dry it out a bit but not sure if it's possible. I assume slowly bring the temp back up to 50 degrees and pitch for...

If I am making a starter to repitch in order to finish off a beer that has stalled do I aerate it? Reason I ask is in theory "oxygen" is bad when introduced this late into the stage. Im 13 days in on a Saison that Im about to speed up the process with the French Saison 3711?
