Whirlpooling is the action of creating a whirlpool of wort in the kettle and takes place at the end of the boil, after flame-out. By doing this the larger particles, such as hops matter, are concentrated at the bottom of the kettle. Those particles are left behind and thereby won’t clog a pump, or produce off-flavors in your primary fermentation.
Aerating is when you insert additional oxygen to your wort before yeast is added. Yeast need oxygen during the fermentation process, so the more oxygen the better.
