I recently started using pure oxygen to aerate my wort. I bought a little red canister from my hardware store. For my first two batches, I attached the stone, boiled it in water for a couple of minutes, then dunked it in the beer and opened the valve to let it bubble for a minute. For the third batch (a lager), I let it flow for a full 4 minutes, but the tank ran out by the end.
I feel like I should be getting more than 3 batches per tank of oxygen. Am I aerating way too long? Opening the valve too much? Do you guys normally have much bigger tanks? Or is it normal for a tank of oxygen to run out in 5 batches or less?
