How many liters per minute of O2?

[pinkisthedevil]

Hey folks, my O2 regulator only goes down to around 2LPM or 2.5LPM . at that level, how long should I bubble O2 into my wort through the .5 micron oxywand? Still new to this and I've seen maybe 1LPM for 2 minutes?

I'm doing mostly pale ales and IPA in the 1.070 sg range

Cheers!

iirc Chris White recommended the 1LPM for 2 minutes for a five gallon batch, I do .5 LPM for 4 minutes stirring with a .5 micron wand (from Williams Brewing). At 2LPM it follows you'd run the gas for 1 minute, though tbh there's a ton of head room above the 12 ppm we're shooting for (White also oxygenated a batch to over 40 ppm and didn't observe any issues as a result)...

Cheers!

I do a minute and a half, but that is just me and it works great. With a healthy pitch of yeast from a starter I have air lock activity in about 5 hours most times. YRMV.
