O2 reg and stone

[user 574]

Grrr! So I was "Smart" and didn't purchase a complete stainless air stone + regulator kit; I had to purchase the stone from Morebeer.com and the regulator from Williams Brewing.

So why the hell do they make the stone a

3/8 connector and the regulator

a 1/4 connector . Another trip to friggen Home D / Lowes Time to drink.

When you buy the kit you get a smaller stone with a little compression fitting to accept the 1/4 ID tubing...so you really came out ahead of the deal, because you've got a bigger stone.

You bet! Look at the size of that thing.

I was just going to use the regulator and stone with some flex hose when oxygenating the wort. Is this cool or do you use the long shaft thingie I've seen online?

I've just been using hose and letting the stone sink down, but I'm thinking a long shaft wouldn't hurt (AFAIK ).

I'm really trying to resist taking this thread to new low levels...

ScottT had his stone hooked to the end of his racking cane somehow. I've been thinking about hooking mine to the end of my spoon with a twist tie so I could stir while oxygenating.

I figure there's more than one way to make up for the lack of a long shaft.
