Aerating my Wort

[sasjodi]

Hey brew talk,

So can i get some input on what equipment I should by to aerate my wort after it is placed into the fermentor....

Thanks for the help

shake it like crazy for 5 minutes.

Nice thought but I have 2 6.5 gal buckets, I was thinking of using oxygen through a hose of some sort, anybody have any suggestions?

Shake it up, stir it hard with a sanitized spoon, or a paint mixer (sanitized of course). pretty much anything to generally mix it all up.

Depends on the yeast you are using. If dry yeast I'd stick with stirring or paint mixer. If liquid yeast I'd go for an Oxygen setup like Williams Brewing or one of the other supply companies sells.

For aeration I use the Stainless aquarium stone, regulator and 02 bottle. This is the William's brewing version;

Mine didn't have the tubing, so I took a broken piece of racking cane, cut a tiny piece of the hose as a bridge connect and rigged up my own. And I just use the regular red 02 bottle from my hardware store.

I got the William's brewing oxygenation kit last weekend. Looking forward to trying it out this coming weekend.
