Inline oxygen system

Testing out the mobile app, but just finished the inline oxygen stone

 

Ya that pic didn't come through.

Camlocks from bargainfittings and the stone from Williams Brewing.

 

Any other pics? Looks like a great idea! Stone mounted inside the T?

 

Kinda hard to see, but without that female end on there, I was able to crank it down just enough that the stone is touching the other side, but screwed in enough that it shouldn't leak.

 

So the stone fits snugly in the T, and the input O.D. of the stone roughly mates up to the size of the I.D. of the hose barb?

 

Sorry, don't quite follow. It's a 1/2" Tee with came locks on both ends so it connects inline with my current system. The stone is kind of wide such that I worry a little bit about flow, but there's enough room going past it that it should be just fine. Looks like a 3/8" barb so I'll use 5/16" bev tubing and put air tool quick connects on such that I can just wrap it up with the Tee on the end and connect it all to the tank as needed.

 

How does the stone connect to the barb inside the T? Or does the stone connect directly into the barb on the inside of the fitting?

 

And here's the whole assembly after the chiller.

 

This is the stone

Aaahhhh. That makes way more sense now.

 

Nice work. Let me ask you. when your chilling and running your wort through the plate chiller do you only make one pass? Do you open up your oxygen valve all the way when passing wort through..

 

Really cool set-up. It's very clean and everything is nice and compact but still mobile. Well done.

 

Well, I haven't actually used this yet, but I've been doing oxygen for a while now.

When chilling, I usually recirc to bring the whole batch down right away to 120 or so then send it to the fermenter through the chiller to bring it down to 60ish. As far as oxygen, I plan to get a flow meter so I can actually set a flow of ~1 L/min. Currently I've been setting it such that I can start to see bubbles coming up for 1 minute/5 gallons.
