All of the seals on the lids are tight. I am just thinking that I didn't get enough O2 in there.
I've noticed since adding o2 that the lag time is a bit longer than I was used too. Nothing to worry about
Yesterday I had a small leak in the connection of the wand and the O2 bottle so I did not have much in the tank toadd to the boilled wort. So I aerated this by using a drill and a dedicated paint mixer. Now i have a fresh bottle of O2 and want to know if 24 hours later is too late to bother adding O2 at this point?
If the yeast have already started active fermentation, don't add more O2.
Looks good to me... I would just check to make sure it has a threaded fitting for the O2 out. With the picture as it is, you cannot tell what the fitting is for the O2 out part. Even though a barb fitting on the regulator would work too, I like using threaded fittings for my lines/tubing whenever possible.
Still, it's hard to go wrong at that price. Just wish it was available with Amazon Prime.
I am very confused by this thread. Everyone seems to be looking at medical regulators for their oxygen tanks. Do these regulators only work with the green medical oxygen tanks? Can those tanks be filled without prescription? If not, what are people doing about the tanks running out of gas? I have an opportunity to pick up a large oxygen tank with regulator and 25% full, for extremely cheap. However, it is a medical tank, and I don't want to throw money away if I can't ever fill it again. Thoughts?
I think I get it now, so I want the CGA540 outlet, not the 870?
How many of you are still using your O2 setups regularly?

Has anyone seen a chart/read about diffusion rates with a 2 micron stone as compared to a .5 micron stone?

Lagers need more oxygen. And any bubbles you see are wasted oxygen, so don't turn it up enough to foam much. Just make sure the wort is moving around from the O2 flow.
For a lager I would do at least a minute, probably a bit more. The yeast need more help when colder. For ales 30 or 45 seconds is fine.
