Are there any thoughts from the group on this new Cellar Science offering? It sounds like this is basically a mix of Brewtan-B, Ascorbic Acid and Metabisulfite. Or does Brewtan-B have other useful components not included? Does the price seem reasonable?

Any thoughts if using a product like this by "a friend of mine" that does not take any other real steps to reduce hot side oxidation? I know there is a video from Genius Brewing claiming that a few grams of Ascorbic Acid in the mash does wonders. Can this product be used after fermentation reduce oxidation during packaging?

Oxblox 3D is a specially formulated blend of gallotannins, ascorbic acid, and metabisulphite that is added to your strike water right before mash-in. It dissolves easily and is extremely useful to reduce oxidation during the mashing process. Through multiple actions, it reduces dissolved oxygen levels and helps inhibit the lipoxygenase enzyme found in malt that is infamous for causing downstream wet paper / cardboard flavors attributed by the (E)-2-nonenal compound.
