I'm making an IPA rightnow but I'm unsure on the amount of time I use my oxygenation system. One thing I read said thirty seconds another said two minutes. I'm pumping pure oxygen th through an air stone any suggestions ?
 
60 seconds will give you plenty of air. When I cloned my Pliny the Elder which came in at 1.077 the o2 made it take off like a rocket. Use a blow off tube. Take a 3 piece air lock, take off the top, toss the guts, put a tube in there with the other end in some water. Then sit back and wait for the fun.
 
+1 on 60 seconds. I had heard 30 seconds was the ticket and I got good fermentation but since I have started oxygenating for 60 seconds my fermentations have been very fast and very clean.
