Hi everybody,
I am hoping to brew my first high(ish) gravity, highly hopped beer this year. Planned OG ~1.070.
I am concerned though with my ability to aerate the wort as I use a simple air-pump, HEPA filter and 2um stone setup. A pure O2 setup is in the wish list, but will not happen before this brew.
I wonder if I could overcome the limitation by slightly over-pitching and/or doing a second round of aeration hours after pitching?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks
