Hey everybody. Got yet another question. So I bought a oxygen kit to put oxygen back into my wort after a boil. All I need is the oxygen tank. Saw a tank at Home Depot. But I look at the bottle and it has all these warnings on it. Ie. Only to be used for welding and contents under pressure. Are these normal warnings? Can it be used for brewing oxygenating purposes? Or am I being to paranoid?
 
small red tank with 1.6 oz of oxygen. work perfectly


My Setup (similar to your own) Oxygen1.jpg
 
So what's the diff then with the blue oxygen tanks and the red ones. So I am assuming that these tanks are food grade. No off flavours? Sorry for silly ass questions
 
You won't have a problem mixing the disposable blue (propane) tanks with the red (O2). The threads for the propane are right-hand and O2 are left. You cannot screw a propane cylinder onto an O2 regulator.

The red Home Depot O2 tanks are fine. That's what a lot of us use.

Hah. Don't buy the blue tank. Read the label a little more closely....
