Yesterday's brew was the third one I've used compressed oxygen and I'm definitely seeing a difference. All 3 took off faster than before and the fermentation is more active. I've only finished one beer but it did finish where it was supposed to but we'll see how the other 2 finish.
However, much of what I've read says complete fermentation is over faster and many who aerate with C02 only ferment for 2 weeks. I'm not ready to go there yet but for a small investment, I do like what I see. If these 2 beers finish where they should and come out well, I'm definitely going to continue this process.

It's the only way I do it now. I'm on my second oxygen bottle.

I would think that aerating with CO2, Carbon Dioxide, wouldn't be a great idea...

It's 02! But, it's odd just how much info online mentions C02.I've changed the subject line to that it's correct. Thanks

I thought my Premature Hopulation was finished visible airlock activity but nope, it's still going though very slowly. This happened on the stout too and it's never,ever happened before mega aeration.
I'm still pleased with doing thing this way.
I'm just glad I'm not the only one here with OCD tendencies.
