alternative o2 tanks

[zoomzilla]

I'm done with the disposable o2 tanks from Lowes. I don't know if I left the dial on the wand turned on or what but I got 1 use out of my last tank and was thoroughly infuriated when I tried aerating my next batch. I would like to get an o2 tank from a welding supply with a shut off valve but need to be able to hook my aeration wand to it. Does anybody have a rig like this or know where I can get one?

I use a large oxygen tank to aerate my wort. I use a small torch tip that the tubing slides over. It's an expensive setup if you don't weld.

If you go to a welding supply store, they should have a brass barbed fitting that would fit into a regulator.

+1 on the O2 regulator from William's--$35 well spent. I picked up a 20 cu ft O2 tank from a local welding supply. It holds the equivalent of almost 20 of those disposables. I never have to wonder if the tank has run out when I need it.
