I saw a comment on an airstone in the previous question. I am interested on where you got your airstone? I think mine is bad. I bought it years ago and it...
I got my airstone from beer, beer and more beer. They're in CA, so it took a while to get it. I use a simple aquariium pump with the little filter it comes...
Mike, I have been using an aquarium pump for the past couple of years. It has made a noticable improvement in my fermentations. I usually aerate for 10-20...
