I actually did not say quite that if you reread, [I just suggested adjustin=
g amounts] however it is a common error amongst many brewer manufacturers, =
never mind the general population that dissolved O2 rates in a brewer are l=
imited to saturation rates. In actuality, the principle of super-saturation=
should have been applied in the R&D which went into the design process. On=
e can see natural occurances of this in areas proximal to waterfalls. I act=
ually measured the dissolved oxygen at 2400 feet above sea level at around =
65 degrees and as I recall about 30 ppm TDS water.
You are doing nothing wrong. If you can maintain above 5.9 ppm DO2 with ing=
redients added you are fine.
Salutations,
