you are quite right, woodland brewing did a whole scientific, 27-sample experiment which showed that adding h2o2 to wort has little to no impact whatsoever. now, for those who use bottled oxygen, why not use a 20 oz soda bottle hooked to a tube to bubble in o2 produced from h2o2 mixed with a...

on some bottles of hydrogen peroxide, it will have something along the lines of "10 volume" which means that 1 part hydrogen peroxide yields that many parts oxygen. a science person told me that. word on the street is that 300 ml oxygen is good for 5-6 gallons of wort, you can do your own math...

Thank you for your thoughtful post. the primary reasoning behind this course of action is that i've already got the carboy and tubing hanging around, and i'd rather not buy more equipment that will also just be hanging around. as far as the other issue, i considered that as well - it is totally...

hydrogen peroxide decomposition results in the formation of water molecule and oxygen gas: 2 H2O2 → 2 H2O + O2 the reaction by-product is simply clean water. hydrogen peroxide can be decomposed by a variety of things, but that's not part of my original post. i have a spare 3 gallon...

In my quest to make brewing more difficult / fun, I have investigated producing oxygen chemically rather than using bottled gas. 1. does anyone have any experience with this? 2. as near I can tell, 300 ml of oxygen should be enough for a six gallon batch, anybody care to weigh in? 3. no...
