It was found during the Belgian Yeast Ale Experiment I posted over at gotmead.com.
(One gallon)
Shake like hell to aerate.
Aerate daily by shaking.
(5 gallon)
Degas daily for at least a week.
I went to gotmead.com and searched for Belgian Yeast Ale and for Yeast Ale Experiment. They limit the characters in the search. I could not find your experiment.
I understand to shake vigorously or stir/mix good to get oxygen into the must at first which would be aerating, but after that am I really supposed to shake it hard or just shake it gently to get the CO2 out of it which I think is degassing?
And thank you so much for both experimenting and sharing the results
