this has been making me wonder for a bit and I'm sure I'm just missing one piece of information before it all makes sense.
i currently transfer from boil to C02 purged fermenter at the same time as transfer i use a stone and pure oxygen to provide the yeast the needed conditions. after primary i transfer from fermenter to purged corny. after the boil the beer never is exposed to the ambient air until its served.
hopefully ive provided enough info on my process to get an answer to the question about oxidized beer.
the question i have is if you over dose the wort with oxygen (more than the yeast needs to do its job, will that create an oxidized tasting beer (or does the C02 created replace the absorbed oxygen?)
Finally, on a single stuck ferm i was told that possibly i didnt does enough oxygen. this was stated as all methods of finishing a stuck beer were tried with out avail. So my thought was since the almost beer still hasnt touched air i could dose it again and drop yeast again to see if they then had the conditions to finish the beer. So part two of the question is with the new dose of oxygen would the finished beer taste oxidized (answer to the above should coincide with this answer).
thanks for the help and hope i can bridge the gap in the theory of oxidized beer.
