I'm curious about your setup for in-line oxygen. I've been trying to do this as well but I'm struggling to find a configuration that works well. I didn't want to have the tee with O2 diffusion stone on the line to the fermenter because I figured I'd have to take it apart to sanitize it. So instead, I put it upstream of the line out to the fermenter, in the loop from the BK to pump to CFC back to BK. This way, I could sanitize the stone by circulating boiling wort just like the CFC.
So, the stone barb goes to a motorized valve, and behind the valve is a gauge and O2 tank and regulator. The idea is, I leave the valve closed, set the regulator to whatever pressure I want (calibrated to give me the amount of O2 I want), and during transfer, I open the valve.
Problem is that when I circulate wort, the pressure in the line pushes wort up the line (through the stone and into my O2 line), even with the valve closed. When the valve is opened, the wort gets pushed back out, but I don't have a way to sanitize that line for the next time without taking everything apart (I'm trying hard to minimize that).
I tried putting a check valve in line, very close to the stone... but that leaked too (and would still leave the same issue between the tee and the check valve).
So, curious to know if you solved this problem... Maybe what I need to do is move the tee with the stone upstream of the valve so it never sees positive pressure (strictly, that should read no more positive pressure than the head from the wort in the BK to the tee). Or is there no way to avoid having to take this thing apart every time.
Very cool setup you have. Your videos have given ideas that I've implemented in my setup. You offered more detail info in your last video... I would watch it with interest! Thanks
