Thanks guys. Since I had the choice, I thought it wiser to oxygenate rather than aerate, so instead of of ripping it with the drill and stirring rod, I used my diffusion stone and half empty bottle of oxygen. Makes for a good reason to always have a bottle of oxygen on hand. At any rate, I feel better now.
Amazing, at 7 A.M. on a Sunday morning I post a question, and within 3 hours I get input from some of the top brewers in the country. Good reason to be a member.
