I understand that when adding fruits/additions to beer you rack it to a secondary fermentation vessel with the additions, but would there be an issue with waiting until the initial vigorous fermentation subsides in the primary, and just adding the additions then? I ask because to me it would be safer because you're not introducing more O2 to you're beer, and there is less of a chance of infection. If you have the head space, is there any reason not to do it this way?
