Quick question: If I chill and oxygenate in the evening but don't pitch yeast until the next morning, has all that lovely oxygen come out of solution and departed my fermenter? Or does wort have a great affinity for O2 and it stays in suspension (at least for 12 hours or so)? Background...

Howdy, I seem to be having a hard time hitting either my gravity numbers or pre-boil volumes and I wonder if part of it isn't a fundamental misunderstanding about Fly Sparging technique. Typically, when I hit my volume, my runnings are still way above 2 degrees Plato and my pH is nowhere near...
