I have been a shaker for the better part of my 9 batches. I usually shake till I get a nasty head on top- then pitch my yeast. That works out-
I recently saw a video with an attachment to a tube- pvc with a single hole in it- causing o2 I would presume buy the wort flowing through the pipe- so it got me thinking
I drilled 5 small holes in a 1/2 inch tube- and attached that to my 3/8 inch siphon tube- and siphoned my wort into the carboy using this neat little air system I came up with
The end result was a rich creamy white head- without any shaking! But not knowing if it was sufficient enough- I did rock the carboy several times causing additional o2.
Im wondering- anyone make a rig like this- and if so- was that creamy head of air enough? How would I know?
My fermentation did take off 24 hours later- as expected- not as vigorous as I would expect-
any thoughts?
