Whisks are great for aerating wort. A mate of mine gave me 150g or so of dried wine nutrient a couple of years ago. I use mainly liquid yeasts & split a Wyeast pack into 4 or 5 test tubes for easy storage. Adding a pinch of wine yeast when boiling up a starter wort (planned surplus from an...

You can go that route or if you have the time you can continue using your chiller via an esky (Cooler) with ice + enough water in it to cover the inlet of a cheap pond pump & recirculate the iced water through your chiller & back to the esky until the temp drops to your desired level. Is your...

Notto does not need the wort to be aerated prior to pitching but does need to be rehydrated according to the...
