Hi guys,
I bought a 'wine wip' tool that attaches to a drill so I could get my cooled wort properly aerated, but! it doesn't fit into the actual carboy lol. I was thinking that once my wort has cooled to pitching temperature and I've removed my wort chiller from my kettle could I then, before transferring my wort into the carboy, use the aeration tool directly in the kettle and then transfer into the carboy? I feel as though this might be a problem because of the open air and the thought that maybe some of the oxygen would be lost in the transfer. Any reason why this wouldn't work or could potentially harm the beer?
