I ferment some of my beers in cornys. I was thinking, is it a bad idea to pressurze the corny with o2 instead of pure co2? Co2 is "poison" to yeast. And yeast needs oxygen..
About it being "to much", one could maybe dillute the co2 to pressurize if you want to ferment under pressure (lagers) with o2?
My Imp stout is always getting a boost of o2 on day three, just before krausen. I was thinking maybe instead of this day 3 boost, if I pressurize it with pure o2, it would be maybe better, since the o2 would be steady, instead of giving the beer 02, it uses it up, and I give it some more, and it uses that up again.. What If I found a "golden" pressure to use so the o2 would be just perfect?
