Does using olive oil in your wort substitute for traditional aeration? Find out....we get the most definitive results yet! https://www.experimentalbrew.com/experiments/writeups/writeup-olive-oil-vs-no-aeration
O'Henry had nothing on you folks
Did you ever do a test between properly aerated vs no aeration?
Cheers!
Thank you for doing this test. If I read the Grady Hull report correctly it would need a vehicle to keep the olive oil dissolved in the wort which most of us wouldn't have done.
I'd really like to see the results of no aeration/aeration/pure oxygen on a beer with about 1.050 OG. I really suspect that a lot of brewing "knowledge" is just an idea handed down and repeated until everyone treats it as gospel.
Because I live a long way from a supply of liquid yeast and never plan my brewday until the night before if even that, I tend to use dry yeast most of the time. With that, most of my beers are 1.050 to 1.070 and I sometimes aerate and sometime not but to further complicate any "results" I rarely use the same recipe twice but I can't tell any noticeable difference if I aerate or not. It would be nice to see an experiment on that aspect.
