Hey everyone,
I recently bought a O2 aeration system after years of just shaking. I've now used it three times but have trouble determining when it is really going, especially in an ale pale. The first time I used it, it was in a glass carboy so it was a tad easier as I could see the bubbles, but the ale pale is tougher.
How can I tell when the oxygen is really flowing? My regulator is one I bought at my lhbs, which attaches to disposable tanks, has a filter (for some odd reason) attached to a black tube leading to the stone.
If I really really open it up, I can see the wort moving but I feel like I really have to crank it up to do that. Or am I just being a wuss and I should just open it up and let it flow?
Is there a better way to tell if it is working in an ale pale? Or should I just trust it's working? Thanks a lot.
