Oxygenation/Aeration Score!?!?

Hawgbranch · 02-13-2010, 07:00 PM

My brewing partner just got his hands on this Oxygen Concentrator.
It states in the specs online:
Oxygen Output: 95.6% to 87% at all flow rates

Seems like this would be a nice addition to the future brew rig.
Anyone ever heard of using one of these gizmos for Aeration?

No, probably not many folks can get their hands on one.....does it has a hose output? If so that would probably be great with an airstone on it.

Yeah, it sure does. You can't see it in that picture for some reason but it has an output in the front to the left of the control panel. Underneath that black knob is a Flow Meter.

Thought about them at one point until I saw how much $$$$

I stole one from an old lady. It'll work great...just keep open flames away from it

We chill with a CFC. We added the aeration manifold from Morebeer that has the stone and the thermometer at the output of the CFC. So, after several minutes of whirlpooling we will see how it works. All flames should be out by then. Unless I fire up a Malboro Light....
We are brewing next Sunday and will be trying out a new March pump, hoses (with Cam and Groove connections), aeration stone and this Oxygen Concentrator.
We are pretty excited about it. Brewing Ed's Haus Pale Ale.
