Oxygenation Timing
Some British brewers "drop" their fermenting wort up to a day after adding yeast. How effective is this for adding oxygen? And how late can wort be oxygenated?

RESPONSE:
Oxygen Requirements
Thank you for taking the time to answer all our questions. I'm following up not on my own questions, but on one from another HBD member. In a response about oxygen requirements, you said: "I do not know how you will be able to control the rate of sterol production or the total amount.
Air Versus Oxygen
At present I oxygenate my wort inline during cooling with pure (?) O2 as I assume it to be as close to sterile as possible in a homebrew situation and hence more practical than working with an aeration stone and aquarium pump after cooling to pitching temp. Although I have not experienced any problems with fermentation, I wondered what your views on it would be regarding yeast health etc.
