Thread title says it all. I've just recently migrated to the use of Oxygen for my oxygenation pre-fermentation (60 sec through diffusion stone), and the three beers I've done it with all have required blow off tubes. Prior to this, I've used a drill mounted degasser for aeration and when acompanied with fermcap, and tight fermentation temp control, I've been able to get by without blow off tubes ~ 9 out of 10 ales. These last three beers have used WLP029, WLP001, and WLP023 and even with fermcap, needed a blow off. Any others experienced the same trend or is this just an odd coincidence?
