Easy O2 Rig

[IronBlue]

With thanks to other threads on Jim's, an easy O2 solution:



£23 for the bottle, about £20 for the reg, and £6 for the flow meter which also has a built-in control tap. (Plus a £6 0.5 micron stainless airstone)

Where was the flow meter from?

I use all the same except my regulator has max 1.5l output. Good stuff

I bought mine from WeldUK (25.99) as that where I got bottle from:

Have since seen them cheaper on eBay etc but WeldUK has good price on bottle

Thanks for the info. What is the line youve used to run it through?

Ive now got the exact same as this and have used it once. The beer (vienna lager) seems excellent so far (just kegged it). However i found that the regulator requires quite a narrow tube compared to the flow meter and hence i cld not get it to seal as my tube was the right size for the meter. By the look of the above picture youve also got a wider tube than the reg is built for, sobim wondering if it leaks at all? If not how did you prevent leaks?

Just checked and the hose is 1/4"

That ironblue is Bealzebub in disguise. There I was just looking to upgrade my fermenters with his old 50l ones and he invites me into Shiny World and his shed of heaven and I was addicted. No point having 50l fermenters without a 70l shiny kettle. Not much point having a big kettle without a shiny thermopot like his And how could I possibly do my old aeration trick of slosh it about by hand and sleep well at night knowing that Bealzebub has oxygen tank aeration that does it in 30 seconds!? So of course I copied the welduk regulator tank and tubing setup with an air stone wand which works like a dream BUT I am strong and resisted the force and did not get a flow meter. Hah. Not so weak after all.
So today on brew day the wife enters my brew room and was .... impressed. She had spotted a few lumpy credit card bills which I disguised as Christmas expenses and oversize heavy deliveries but I seem to have got away with it.
Seriously sloshing about 25l was an accident waiting to happen and I did drop one once - life lesson that one- and 50l brewlength is too big to slosh and wait for the foam to die down. Means I now dump from kettle to pump to chill plate back to kettle and straight into fermenter when cool enough straight into my brew fridge and I can aerate in there without any accidents.
Thank you Bealzebub. If I see further today than I did yesterday it is because I stand on the shoulder of Bealzebub and saw ironblue's shed of heaven... and his awesome O2 rig.
Too early to tell if beer is better for it but my back certainly is.

I used 4mm ID 6mm OD silicon hose on mine and cable ties on the reg. I do have to thank ironblue for opening my eyes. His attenton to detail is amazing and I tried some of his great brews.

My clever dad has machined me a new hose barb, so im sorted with this now! If my vienna lager is as good as it tasted from fv this has helped. Repitch of w3470 and injected o2 and the beer is smooth, clean and malty straight from the fv. Lets hope it stays that way.

Thanks ironblue.
