Wow, it's obvious that I'm wasting my time here. Google parts per million. It's pretty simple, if you have 8 ppm of a given solute, there are 8 parts per million OF THAT SOLUTE in solution. It doesn't matter what the concentration of the other solutes is. The probe measures the concentration...

Thanks for the info. I don't own the book, so I have to take your word for it. Still, nothing that anyone has posted here has been very convincing.

I can totally identify with you here. I'd rather not spend the time, money, and effort either. However, you have to acknowledge without these types of experiments, we'd still be in the dark ages.

Maybe you need to look again. I don't own this probe, but most of the probes measure ppm of O2 in solution which can then easily be converted to percent saturation if you know the temperature and atmospheric pressure. If you can achieve say 8 ppm O2 in solution using room air or pure O2, the...

Well I guess I didn't realize that the opinion of the original poster was gospel. You're kind of proving my point here. All you guys have to support the use of O2 aeration is anecdotal evidence. You cite a wyeast page that says that you can achieve higher concentrations of O2 with a tank, and...

Also, I looked into the probe used in the experiment. It measures the oxygen saturation in solution, not the air saturation. This seems to be the opposite of what you are claiming. Do you really know what you're talking about? If so, please post links to the experimental evidence. If not...

I would love to see some of this science. I've read this entire thread and haven't seen anything concrete. Care to enlighten us all?

Not trying to rock the boat here, but has anyone read this? http://hw.libsyn.com/p/6/8/b/68bd31b8e7d7cb4a/AerationMethods.pdf It looks like rocking/shaking the carboy achieves faster and more complete oxygen saturation than room air through a stone. They didn't use pure O2 though the stone...
