Aerate to late?

Tommyb52 · Apr 29, 2013

I just brewed a Franziskaner clone on Saturday and its in the bucket fermenting. The air lock had a good pressure yesterday but evened out today. I just put a sanitized tube connected to an air pump in the bucket for a few minutes thinking its under oxygenated(I stirred it vigorously for 15 minutes when 1st brewed). Am I worrying over nothing?

Sounds like fermentation might not have started yet. I know "airlock activity isn't proof" , but I've always had some on all my brews.

I'd check the gravity and see if it has dropped. If not, let it go for a couple days and check again.

What yeast did you use?

And DON'T aerate it anymore. It's good before fermentation starts, but bad after it starts in most cases.

I used Wyeast 3638. My temp ranges from 68-72 as my recipe calls for.
