Hot side aeration

[perryni]

I normally collect my wort in a fermenter from my mashtun and then pour it into the boiler.

Will this cause hot side aeration or will the boil get rid of any issues caused by this?

Cheers

Personally I wouldn't worry about HSA, what you are doing will not make a difference to your beer in the end.

Since I've started AG I've always tried to avoid it, I always syphon when the wort is hot and never let it splash around. What's the general consensus about HSA on here?

when i fill the boiler with wort i usually just use a jug which does splash about abit , then i pour the rest in when it's not too heavy with more splashing . Not noticed any stale like off flavours as yet

I siphon most of my wort from an FV to my boiler (mainly cos 30L is heavy) and pour the last bit in. I do try to minimise splashing but am not overly concerned by HSA. I have no facts but think the general consensus is that its not a big deal.

Put it this way, when I asked regarding HSA during a brewery tour I was told that HSA is nothing to worry about to the Home Brewer, leave it to the big breweries to worry about. This was as we watched a copper be filled from the mash tun, there was quite a bit of splashing and he wasn't concerned. There beers are fantastic.

I can't say I've ever noticed a problem and I use jugs.

It's been discussed before Try some of the links on the thread. In short don't worry about it . . . having said that while I don't worry about it I have designed my brewery to minimise all splashing hot or cold . . . unless I want it to
