Question for someone smarter than I am.
I've been looking around and adventures in homebrewing is having a sale on their diffusion stone's set up. Kind of a just add your own tank from your local hardware store and you're on your way.
That led me to think about several "how to's" I've seen on HBT. The one I like the best for using the venturi effect is to take two hose clamps, tighten them down with about 4 inches or so of tubing in between. Then drill a hole in the middle length of the tube, insert another tube and make sure the inserted tube is turned up while the wort is running through it. I'd like to use the venturi effect since hose clamps are pretty cheap and I can just lop off a section of hose from one end and stick that in the hole.
So my question...finally...I know! Using those two methods above does anyone know if spending the greater amount of money on the diffusion stone would inject "that much more" oxygen to offset the cost? I'm all about doing things economically and getting the same or just as good of result as someone who spends. So if I'm only gaining a small percentage I'll go the venturi effect, if not then I'll buck up for the diffusion stone.
Thanks for reading this novel! I look forward to the responses.
