Why not just pour the wort from the cube vigorously?
I'd be pretty wary of sticking something with so many moving parts and potential crevices in to my wort post-boil. You might find it works, and that it's the best thing ever, so go ahead.
That is my concern, though.
http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...aint+stirrer%5CI like the drill and paddle idea. I'll be using that next time myself... :beer:
If youa re thinking of buying the mixer to be solely used for brewing then a better investment would be another fermenter. Cheap ($16) and easy.
I usually just shake the **** out of it but that can be hard work with 18 litres of wort. It gets heavy quickly..
Good point...Maybe I will try Razz idea and use my mash paddle in the drill. Less nooks and crannies for bugs to hide in the paddle.
It gets heavy quickly..I thought my stick mixer might do a better job and be easier to use.
ive just re-read the op. are you pitching/fermenting in the cube? if so why? why not dump into a fermentor?Just wondering if its possible to use one of these to aerate my wort in the cube before pitching?
just asking if he had a particular reason he didnt want to ferment in a fermentor. I know some people prefer it. I was more asking him to clarify if thats what he was meaning or whetehr I was misread the post.I ferment in the cube. Why? Because there's no need to transfer into another vessel. Because it's easier. Because cubes are great fermenting vessels. Because the infection risk is reduced. Because cubes (jerry can style) fit easily inside fermenting fridges - many have room for two. Because you only need to clean half the equipment.
Why not?
