This is my experience too. I have brewed beers with absolutely minimal amount of aeration, when I have been afraid of infections. I have even cooled them down in my brew pot, with the lid on, and opened just enough to pitch the yeast in. No shaking, no stirring, no nothing. And still it turned out to be quite good beer. Last time I did this was with my Munchner Experiment, OG about 1050 (if I remember right, see H-29 in beercalc), and FG 1.009 (last I measured yesterday). I admit it is not a really heavy beer, but it shows that something can well happen without much aeration. -H -- Heikki Levanto heikki at indexdata dot dk "In Murphy We Turst"
