O2 Tank w/regulator

[MaxStout]

I have a welding O2 cylinder and regulator on hand and I am curious how you neck down to an oxygenation stone?

My regulator came with a 1/4" barb fitting. I just attached a length of plastic tubing. If your reg doesn't have a barbed fitting, you might have to look for an adapter.

Thanks @MaxStout , @Morrey and @h22lude for your comments.



As I already have a flow rate regulator I would think I don't need a second one is that correct?

Also did you get your tank filled at a welding place or somewhere else?

If you have a flow rate reg, and it's threaded to attach to the O2 cylinder, you should be good to go.

My tank was filled when I bought it new at the welding supply. The place I bought it from does exchange, not refill.

Is it hearsay to oxygenate the wort in the BK before transferring to the fermenter? For me it might be easier to do with a larger O2 cylinder.

I don't see why not, once the wort is cooled.
