Just wondering if anyone has tried and has had good results with putting a small recirculation pump inside the primary fermenter.
Surface “air” disturbance due to recirculating. I dunno, I’m just visually speculating, but that’s what I would say to myself to justify why I wouldn’t do it.Like keeping the pump in from the beginning. No new intro of o2
But there is a airlock and the interior is co2. Once fermentation flat lines or near end i would think to turn off, also waiting to turn on until fermentation gets going.Surface “air” disturbance due to recirculating.

Why are you wanting to do this?Just wondering if anyone has tried and has had good results with putting a small recirculation pump inside the primary fermenter.
Maybe you,could find a way to stir the beer gently... But I'm with Bob, diminishing returns.Yeah, i was thinking that it could be a way to fight flocculation and improve attenuation, but if not done correctly could cause problems too.
Most everything we may think of has likely been thought of, and maybe even tried by someone, in the past. If it isn't in common use, there's almost always a good reason. It either doesn't work, or it screws something up. Diminishing return fits in there somewhere
