What ufortunately, in this picture, looks like some form of kinky bedroom tool, is actually my homemade areation device. Made from stainless rod from a brewery (used as one of 3 sparege arms) connected to a $10 hand pump. the thoery is sound and it works in water, but i am yet to utilize in a brew.
My question is do you:
Areate on the hot side (wort is fresh from the boil) and risk oxidisation?
or
Areate on th cold side, after the wort has passed through the wort chiller and into the fermenter? This was obviously risks infection from O2 that is not pure/filtered.
Thoughts?
