I'm planning to brew a belgian quadrupel. I'll be using dry abbey yeast. Getting full attenuation has been an ongoing challenge. (Don't ask, I use a ferm freezer with a temp controller and fan, I oxygenate via air stone for an hour, and my dry yeast is stored in freezer).
I've read the first 12 hours of fermentation are when the yeast consume oxygen to reproduce. Since I lack a stir starter, I'm wondering if I should boost my yeast count via re-oxygenating at 12H to boost my yeast count.
Thoughts?
