I've been looking for a used Berzomatic Oxygen regulator for a while now, and the new ones are always sold out at all the usual HBS's. I ran accross this gem on amazon and am wondering if you guys think this will work with some minor modifications.

Im thinking if you connect a hose and a stone, its the same thing as the ones the Homebrew shops sell. What are your thoughts?

Since that is for a propane system, it will have the wrong threads. Oxygen tanks use left hand thread and propane uses right hand. there is a guy on here that pretty much forced a propane regulator onto and oxygen tank and in turn cut new threads into the regulator. I wouldn't recommend this approach though.

Perfect brewing is my LHBS. Great place. Good group of guys. I picked this up as a kit for about $30ish. I for oxygen I use Bernzomatic oxygen bottles. Cheap and last quite a while.
 
A torch kit that has the propane and oxygen regulators will do. Just use the one for oxygen. Probably a more expensive way to go but also probably more available.
