O2 injection system... Stone needed?

[Dgonza9]

I just got thru ordering parts for an O2 injection system inline coming off the CFC. Although I ordered the stone I hadn't planned on using it. The one I saw online at Morebeer.com didn't appear to have a stone, unless it's hidden in the manifold.

Any way to make this work without the stone? If not, I suppose I can order a compression tube fitting from Mcmaster.com. But I've already spent enough.

I'm trying to ferment in a sanke under pressure so my system needs to be inline. I'll be pumping the wort into the sanke thru the beer outlet of the sanke coupler.

Appreciate the advice on the stone. Cheers!

The pros use a stone with their inline oxygenation systems, some have nice sight glasses after the stone.

I would definitely recommend a stone if you want good infusion of O2 into the wort. The systems that are sold have a stone inside the fittings that the wort travels through.
