To dissolve air in a liquid The introduction of air into a mixture through agitation The only time this is good in brewing is when you pour the chilled water into the primary fermenter The wort should never be aerated
To aerate a substance means to cause air or gas to pass through it. Aerate the soil by spiking with a fork. = oxygenate. to put a gas or air into a liquid or into soil (aer , from )
Aeration is a process that relieves soil compaction and increases water and air movement throughout the soil Thatch is stimulated to decompose when a lawn is aerated
aerate (sewage) so as to favor the growth of organisms that decompose organic matter
{f} charge a liquid with a gas; expose to the effect of air (as in to oxygenate blood); air out, expose to fresh air; (Nautical) charge air and oxygen into livewells to keep fish alive
Aerate means the same as "sift " To pass dry ingredients through a fine-mesh sifter so large pieces can be removed The process also incorporates air to make ingredients like flour, lighter
In brewing practice, to forcibly introduce air or pure oxygen into wort to facilitate yeast growth
This refers to a manual process whereby an air stream is blown onto paper sheets to create a riffling effect that separates the sheets as they are fed to the printing press
The process where air and water are mixed This may be in the form of bubbling air into water, or letting water fall through the air The process is usually used to increase the oxygen concentrations in water The efficiency of aeration equipment is determined by the amount of surface area interface between the water and air and the energy required to produce that interface A summary of the devices used and their corresponding efficiencies is shown in the table It is also used for other processes such as degassing, mixing and destratification
The process of mixing air and water In a spa this can happen two ways: 1) Using an Air Blower to force air into an air channel or through the spa jets 2) With Venturi Air Controls which allow air to be pulled into and mixed with the water in the spa jet
The process of pulling small plugs (about ½" wide and 3" long) from the turf to relieve compacted soil and allow water and nutrients to reach roots Back to alphabetical list
a process used in wastewater treatment that promotes biological degradation of organic matter in water The process can be passive (waste is exposed to air), or active (a mixing or bubbling device introduces oxygen)
Any active or passive process by which intimate contact between air and liquid is assured, generally by spraying liquid in the air, bubbling air through water, or mechanical agitation of the liquid to promote surface absorption of air
This is the process of trying to drive more oxygen (air) into the wine, usually done through decanting, double decanting, or vigorous swirling in the glass This can be very helpful for young wines but can also be very harmful to older, more mature wines Merely allowing the wine to BREATHE is usually considered less invasive
The process of introducing (dissolving) air into wort or beer Aeration of chilled wort at yeast pitching time is desirable, because yeast need oxygen to reproduce Aeration of wort or beer at any other time in the brewing or fermenting process is generally considered to be bad, since it can cause oxidation, which leads to stale flavors
Any active or passive process by which intimate contact between air and liquid are assured, generally by spraying liquid in the air, bubbling air through water, or mechanical agitation of the liquid to promote surface absorption of air
A process of supplying or introducing air/oxygen into a medium which promotes biological degradation of organic matter in water The process may be passive (as when waste is exposed to air), or active (as when a mixing or bubbling device introduces the air)
Making contact between air and a liquid by spraying liquid into the air or by agitating the liquid to promote absorption of air Also act of fluffing molding sand
A technique by which air is introduced into a liquid, bubbles and aerosols are generated, and dissolved gases are released For example, water aerated by passage through a shower head will release dissolved radon gas
A process which promotes biological degradation of organic matter in water The process may be passive (as when waste is exposed to air), or active (as when a mixing or bubbling device introduces the air)
