Avoid Buying an Aeration Stone and Oxygen Tank

     So here is a little tidbit for you home brewers:  avoid the temptation to get really geeked out learning about surface tension and bubble physics.You do not need to add oxygen to jump start your yeasties. If you want to give them a head start to reproduction all it takes is one drop of extra virgin olive oil to 5 gallons of wort (yes I said only one drop). I add it after the wort has been chilled.
     Of course if you want to geek out - then by all means, geek away. Half of all the fun is trying new things. But be wary of the aeration stone and the potential for contamination.
