oxygen on the cheap

[MaloneyBros]

I am stepping up to the use of pure oxygen to aerate my wort and I dont feel that the kits for sale are worth $50+. I know I can DIY better cheaper some how.

Do you guys think that this would work as a regulator?

No. The threads on an oxygen tank are reverse threads. For the exact reason of not being able to put that on there.

The O2 tank, wand, and all even fit in the plastic bag the kit came in, for easy storage.

By the time you buy a proper regulator and a SS stone, you're not far from a kit.

Let us know what you come up with though.
