There are a few ways, just wondering.
Drill + paint stirrer attachment
I have done it all. Currently I've evolved to an inline aeration set up. It's a 500micron stone with 1/2" mpt attached to the out port of my therminator chiller. I have an industrial oxygen tank (I got tired of buying the disposable ones for $10 every few brews) I run the oxygen full blast for 1gal per 5.
I'm working on building a bcs control panel. My goal is to attach the oxygen to an electric ball valve, so no can turn it on/off with the control panel.
you are using way too much if you run out of o2 with just a few batches. The 10$ o2 tank from home depot lasts me a good 8-10 batches.
That's about right... However my large oxygen tank lasts damn near forever and only cost $10 to fill. I'm no longer wasting cylinders and gas/time buying them. I'm also no longer spending $1/batch. Now I'm paying cents per batch and fill it far far less... So ya fuel/time/swapping It all adds up, and it's the same reason I only dispense with a 5lb co2 tank. Everything else (carbonating etc...) is done with a 20lb co2 tank.
Well.... i guess you win.
I use an aquarium pump with a HEPA filter and a 0.5 micron stainless stone. Works good for me.
How long do you O2 guys aerate a 5 gallon batch for?
