O2 bottle fitting

[josers]

So i tring to build an aeration system, and looking where to get the fitting for the O2 bottle. I have the red bernzomatic bottle. It seems like all I would need is the O2 bottle, the fitting with a value, air stone, and the tubing.

I have a rule of thumb here....

High Pressure Gas - No DIY!!! Its just too dangerous unless you have some sort of technical training. Plus last I checked there not too expensive...

here this may help

The William's kit also has the stainless wand to its advantage. It still seems pricey for what you get, but it's the one I bought.

If you are going to go for an oxygenation setup, get one on a wand. The plastic tubing is a PITA to sanitize and maneuver in a carboy. If I had it to buy over again, I would get the wand version.

I have seen a few times on this site and elsewhere the comment that oxygenating the wort with pure oxygen seemed to give a thinner flavor that was achieved when oxygenating with air. I have not put that to the test. I have an oxygen tank sitting here in my basement, which I brought home from work. I have not used it, because I keep getting good results by using one of those little plastic splash fitting on the output tubing from the chiller.
