Hey all.
I have gotten back into home brewing after a 7 year lay-off(not that I was really experienced to begin with) and I am hoping to possibly recover from oxidization during the fermenting stage.
My first 2 batches were with WLP300 and the initial fermentation was explosive, but the second 2 batches were using Fermentis yeasts and the initial fermenting seemed to be less of a display and took a much quicker time to subside. I figured I would try reintroducing oxygen by taking off the airlock and swirling.
Besides the latter 2 batches having a much more lighter appearance than the first 2 batches, is the difference in fermenting explosiveness the yeast itself?
The main question is; can I just transfer the 2 batches to corny's and add CO2 to help aleviate the amount of oxygen for the remaining duration of fermentation , sediment issues aside?
Thanks,
Joel
