I meet in the middle, because I don't want to give up my stir plate
I shake vigorously for foam, turn the stir plate on high for a little bit, then turn down to a tiny dimple so it stirs slowly and releases c02 from solution, and pitch at high krausen still. Should still have all the benefits from the shakken not stirred method of high yeast reserves while still aerating well and also off gassing the c02 from solution which is said to promote a bit more cell growth.
