Hi all,
Ive read some threads about dosing oxygen 8-12 hours into fermentation but it was more centered around adding it inline while recirculating in a pump loop. Right now, I'll only have the ability to hook up from my oxygen tank to the carb stone (no flow meter either) since I have uni-tanks. Any suggestions on where to start in terms amount of time? This will be about a 35 Plato beer and the first time on our 10 barrel system. Ive always dosed big beers for a couple minutes with an oxygen wand about 8 hours in on our 1/2bbl pilot batches but hooking it up to the carb stone on a 10 barrel fermenter is a very different story.
Can I use the same logic and scale up the pilot aeration amount? So 20 times the amount of oxygen from my 1/2 barrel batch leading to to 40 mins of oxygen through the carb stone? Or does this seem like it's overdoing it? Anyone with experience doing it this way? Thanks.
