I decided to try a few no chill batches directly into my corny. The first couple batches came out good but I was still a little worries about oxygen/other baddies being sucked back in while they cooled. This is my third batch now and I tried connecting it to the co2 at 1-2 psi just to keep it under pressure while it cooled. By doing this I have essentially removed much of the oxygen from the wort. Because of the lack of oxygen I would either need to re-oxygenate the wort when pitching or as the title suggests over-pitch to compensate. In theory you would skip the aerobic growth phase and go straight into anaerobic alcohol production. I pitched my little experiment tonight so in a couple days I should have a first sample to see how it's progressing.
Wondering if anyone has tried this or already and what your results were.
