Hello All,
I'm having trouble locating a calculation to properly oxygenate my wort. I can't do it inline, I have a stone but our heat exchanger underserves our system, our knock out is so slow that if I try to oxygenate the wort it just foams up and flies out the blow off arm. In the interest of saving volume, I want to oxygenate in the tank immediately after knock out. I have a flow meter for my 02 tank. Generally knock out temp in the tank is 82F, and comes down to 66F within 30 minutes. They are 7 bbl fermenters, we're probably getting 7.5 bbls in there. I have a stone to hook up to the tank, I just need to know what rate to oxygenate at for how long. I'm using pure 02. I've seen numbers like 1L/minute, but never with temp taken into account. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated!
