I've never Aerated my wort... am I stupid?
Sammus.......Staling for me was a big problem in the early days until I got a handle on it. It drove me mad trying to pin it down until I was sorted out by those who knew better. I learnt to be very gentle with hot wort and so ended the lesson for me.Yeah upon reading we're both right. HSA can theoretically release oxygen later staling the beer, much like introducing oxygen post fermentation. However, evidence for HSA on a homebrew scale is almost nonexistent, but a lot of us probably have first hand experience with post fermentation aeration problem.
Like he said.
I've brewed many 1200 litre batches with dried yeast (rehydrated) and quite a few did not get any aeration other than being charged through the heat exchanger. Results were fine.
