Is oxygenating with pure O2 better than shaking?

[dunbruha]

I use a regulator/flow meter for my O2

What flow meter do you use?

What flow meter do you use?

I believe it is a cardinal medical flow meter. I got it from eBay.

I thought this was some insightful commentary from Dr. Clayton Cone about oxygen:

If I understand your post correctly the Brulosopher experiment isn't going to tell you anything about 02 due to using dry yeast. Looks like they need to do another test

I think it would be a great idea to perform the test with a jar of yeast (no starter) and a starter. It would probably be a good idea to do no shaking, shaking, and O2 as well.

Thanks. I did a quick search on "Cardinal medical flow meters", though, and there are way too many options! Do you have a model number or a picture? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

Wort spray aerator! They're only about $4 and work great.

True Marshall but why spend $4 when you can spend $50 right? This is 'Merica'.... more is better lol. :cross:

They are coooooming! Make sure to follow the Blogs & Bloggers section, I can't post in these threads anymore.

Duh. How easy I forget.

Not entirely on topic, but not entirely off topic, one of the reasons I switched to O2 is for another tool in my belt to improve head retention. Head is generally made up of one-use-only proteins. The agitation/shake method uses a lot of those proteins up. I like to keep as much foam saved for my glass, rather than in the fermentor. Of course, many beers agitated for aeration come out with good head retention, but overall my head formation and retention are consistently better after switching to O2.
