I think you should go ahead and test it out, but I do want to point
out again (and this will be the last time in this thread) that "You
want to get o2 into the brew and h2o2 is oxygen and water." is simply
wrong.

H2O2 will degrade to H2O and O2 if there is nothing else to react
with. That in no way means that H2O2 is water and oxygen. It is a
completely different substance. Adding or removing a molecule makes a
completely different molecule. Heck, using all the same atoms but
changing the order, or even making a mirror image of a molecule makes
it a different molecule.

In fact, it isn't like there is just a spare O hanging off the end,
the extra O is in the middle of the chain.

Check www.h2o2.com for a big list of uses that give you some idea that
it is not just water and o2.
