Dude, stop posting links to your blog without contributing in other threads.

This technique is also bunk that was not meant for beer production and has been disproven many times over. Grady himself had said it was misinterpreted by the Homebrew community.

Good job summarizing an 8 year old article. What's next, hops help keep bacteria at bay?

Significantly higher esters? No thanks.  I will use my oxygenation kit. Using olive oil will also increase the calorie count and our beers don't need any help in that department.

Nice work, you beat me to it. Next thing you know, we'll hear that we don't need to do a secondary.

Risk of failure should be no deterrent to trying.

I have a blog post that can help you make the switch. I'd give you a link, but I'm busy migrating it from Angelfire to Geocities.

I rack with aeration and then create a vortex in the carboy, so called shaking.

See Olive Oil Information here:

https://havencrest-microbrewery.blogspot.com/2016/09/olive-oil-vs-aerating-wort.html

Olive oiul had been completely debunked as an "aeration" method.

Voted via carrier pigeon but it doesn't look like he's shown up yet - must be a headwind.  So I checked one of the choices and submitted just to be safe.

Isn't aeration not all that necessary if you pitch enough healthy yeast?

That's my take...  Also a non-issue with dry yeast.
