aeration

Hello folks I'm new to Homebrewtalk and I'm looking forward to get to know more about mead making. I recently started to making my first mead. When I started my gravity (OG) was 1.110 and I wanted to make 14L mead in a 25L fermenter (I couldn't find anything smaller). 10.5L water for 5 kg...

I have just put together an aeration system with a Tetra 10 air pump a 2 micron sani-filter and 2 micron stone. I started to wonder what about using my airbrush compressor instead of the Tetra pump. What would be the pros/cons? What PSI setting should I use?

One of my favorite aspects of home brewing is the ingenuity that can be used throughout the process. Some people have the finances to buy the biggest and best equipment, some like me do not. For me, the fun comes in when I can use some ingenuity to come up with a way to do something cheaper and...

Dear brewers, I have been looking at several places but cannot find any reliable info on this specific topic. With some friends, we bought a SS brewtech chronical fermenter. As mentioned in many textbooks and in the user manual, the best is to fill the fermenter by the bottom, in order to...

These kits retail for around $1,000. I'd like to get $500 + shipping/ Paypal fees. This has been used very little and is in great condition. Please PM me if you have any questions or would like additional pictures via text. Please check out Sabco's description for more info...

Hello, community! I am moving from homebrewing beer to making kombucha, and I'm working to see what of my beer making gear I can adapt for kombucha use. I have an oxygenation stone for aerating wort and I'm wondering if the SCOBY yeasts benefit from well-oxygenated tea, just like yeasts benefit...

I found this https://www.a2zozone.com/products/050-venturi-injector What do you think about using this for wort aeration? It is made from KYNAR I am a little insane about what touches my wort. Or if so,some has a link to a 304 or food grade silicone one that is similar

Hello! I am attempting my first berliner weisse with souring in primary. I am using WLP672 L Brevis and currently have the carboy in the fermentation chamber incubating at 90F for a couple days to give it a head start. My question is about the effects or significance an aerated wort may have...

I've been trying out some oxygenation stones (both 0.5 micron + O2 tank, and aquarium pump + 2 micron stone) lately. My standing process is I pass the wort through a strainer as I transfer from kettle to fermentor and let that aerate/splash. I did two trials where I split my wort into 3...

Hey all, I'm about to use an aquarium aeration device for first time and am sanitizing. Can I put the whole tube, HEPA filter included, into my starsan bucket? Will that ruin it? Thanks!

Better to aerate wort in the fermentor before or after pitching yeast? Go.

I've read on multiple occasions that it's bad for the mead. What is it that actually happens? Some people have mentioned that your mead can oxidize - what does this mean? I only know of the term "oxidize" from rusting w/ iron - is there a comparable process taking place here? I ask, in part...

Hey guys, sorry if this has been covered in here already, just couldn't find a thread... I'm looking for a good way to aerate wort once it's in my Corny Keg (used as primary fermenter). Currently I run the cooled wort from my kettle, through a short tube into a double-mesh strainer, and into...

Has anyone every tried to use a CPAP for aeration. For those that don't know what a CPAP is its for folks with sleep apnea and is basically a digitally controlled filtered air pump that is used to push air down your throat to keep it open. It would still require an inline filter too not to...

I read this study a while back and thought it might be interesting to share it here with HBT. This is not my work at all and I take no credit for anthing other than posting it here for you fine brewers to read.It is just something I found interesting when doing some research. Check it out and...

I'm seen a few threads and recipes for huge beers where a brewer will aerate once or twice a day for the first few days of fermentation. Sometimes this aeration occurs during a sugar addition. So, how late into fermentation can you aerate without worrying about oxidation? What is the ideal...
