Oxygenation with compressed air from an office supply store

[NWAleDad]

I want to start adding pure o2 to my wort before pitching I was wondering if anyone has tried or know if it will work to use the cans of compressed air you get from the office supply store for cleaning electronics.

I don't think that is Oxygen!

You obviously are not into reading labels. Those cans do not contain air.

 

[NWAleDad]

good to know, don't have a bottle handy and it was just a thought.

The stuff I buy for electronics is AKA R-152a, a refrrigerant and replacement for 134a. You do not use in beer!

The stuff in compressed air cans is a fluorocarbon, similar to Freon. You don't want that in your beer.

real air is not even pure O2. air is 80% nitrogen and only a small percentage is oxygen.

There is also a bittering agent added to it to dissuade would be "high seekers" from inhaling it...
