Oxygen

Post by lord.president » Thu Jan 12, 2017 10:09 pm

Hi all. I've been looking at getting some oxygen to brew an impy for Christmas. I've come across some 'sports oxygen' on Amazon. Has anybody used these? Or am l off to Toolstation for some Hobbyweld?

TIA

Sports oxygen is usually massively expensive compared to the welding oxygen, and usually from the same source. I can see 15 litres of sports oxygen at £20 compared to £24 for a disposable welding oxygen can that has 110 litres.

You still then need a regulator and diffusion stone. See the thread mentioned above for a full build guide.

Welding oxygen like suggested by orlando is the way to go. I'll only add that you should get an air stone wand (air stone on a length of pipe). It makes aerating hustle free.

If you have a conical Lardy can supply a triclamp adapted airstone to fix to the dump valve, allowing oxygen to be bubbled through the whole wort.
