Aerating in a SS conical

[Razorback_Jack]

What is the best way to aerate my wort before I pitch yeast in a SS Conical bucket? I’m coming from a plastic bucket, where I just rocked between my knees for aeration. Should I just stir with a whisk, or are there other preferred methods?

An aeration "stone" is a good thing. There are a bunch of variations and kits out there.

Depending on your setup, you can also put a metal tube with a few holes drilled through it a the end of your tube that transfers the cooled wort into the fermenter or transfer bucket (venturi tube).

I’ve also seen this little piece to attach on the end of siphon hose. Just splashes the beer around as it enters the ferm tank. How effective would that be?

That would work as well as a venturi tube.

It'd work and will last forever, but a venturi tube can be made from scrap tube or pipe, as long as you have a drill.
