    Turn it on until you have a steady stream of bubbles that doesn't cause foam to rise for about 60 seconds. When I first started using o2 I opened the reg all the way and it foamed all over and I only got two 5g batches out of one o2 tank lol.

    I do .5 lpm for four minutes through a .5um stone. iirc, Chris White in Yeast did 1 lpm for two minutes to hit around 12ppm O2 content...

    Cheers!
