Imperial Stout

Almost forgot to ask! Would you be willing to share the recipe? The one that had the hoppy flavours that you liked?

Will have a look tomorrow when I'm not on my second DIPA

I actually use an aquarium pump with a hose and a diffusion stone. Total for my setup was about $30. However, it won't get you to the level of dissolved oxygen that the tank would, probably only around 8-10 ppm. Having said that, it works for me.
A Breathing Treatment compressor and a 4" aquarium bubble curtain stone works great for me. The compressor has an air filter built in and high air flow. I also aerate cool water I'm going to add 90 F wort. The cooler the water, the more O2 it will hold. The S-05 usually starts bubbling in ~8 hours and takes off at 18-24 hours @ 74 F.

Brewed this a few times now and really like it. It's plenty bitter enough but hoppy and complex as well. Goes down really well.

That recipe looks interesting. I might try that one this fall and use an Irish Ale yeast with it.
