Wait time after mixing for water replacement?
Just what is the proper amount of time to wait after mixing salt, R.O. water and adjusting temp before you can add replacement water during a water change? As I understand it introducing oxygen to the new batch of H2o is important. Just how long should this process take?

Depends on what percentage you're doing. You should wait one beer for each 6.35743 percent change. ie a sixty percent water vhange should mix for ten beers.
Just my 2 cents. ] Seriously. The larger the change, the larger the pre mix time..... |
