Description

Most oxygen regulators only regulate pressure but the Blichmann Oxygen Flow Regulator allows you to dial in the actual rate of flow. Turn the dial to your preferred flow rate, measured in liters of oxygen per minute, and you can feel confident in knowing precisely how much oxygen is being introduced into your wort. It is important to know the flow of oxygen because depending on your downstream restriction the actual flow can vary a lot. Remove the guess work with the Oxygen Flow Regulator from Blichmann.

Measuring your dissolved oxygen usually would run you $300 or more but with the Oxygen Flow Regulator you can know exactly how much oxygen was put into your wort for less than $50.

Blichmann quality and to use a large O2 canister
Bryon A on Feb 6, 2018
The nipple on the bottom of my last one sheared off when I was reattaching my hose line to it. Blichmann doesn't just sell the little nipple of course.

How long and at what pressure do I oxygenate chilled wort? I have the stock Ss Brewtech 1/2 Bbl unitank carbonation stone and I go for 2 minutes at the “1” setting.
Diane Baas on May 10, 2021
BEST ANSWER: There are some other variables that should be considered Diane. What temp is your wort? and are you doing inline oxygen or after you have transferred. I run a 5bbl brewhouse and kick out my wort at approx 66f and aerate at "2" seeing for 3/4 of my total volume. You can go a little lower for Belgian and/or Hefe Yeast. The goal is to establish approx. 12mg/l. Are you getting a good fermentation and repitching yeast? cheers, Rick (Craftboro Brewing Depot)
What size is the flare fitting?
Martin Anderson on Dec 28, 2021
BEST ANSWER: It’s a standard 1/4” MFL.
Does this work with the disposable benzomatic oxygen tanks?
david mlotkiewicz on Jan 16, 2021
BEST ANSWER: unfortunately no it does not. I ordered one but had to return it for the oxywand 0.5 which works perfect with the disposable benzomatic tanks

Just buy the other one
I think this is a decent regulator (I haven't been able to use it yet) but why can't they just put a barbed fitting in it? My local lowes and home depot don't have flare fittings with a barb. I couldn't even find parts to adapt it to different threads. More Beer sells the fitting but I won't be buying it from them.

Simply works.
Pretty simple piece of gear. I'm sure there is a much cheaper way to add oxygen from a tank but this takes out all the thread and connection research that results in fittings that don't fit. Highly recommend you start oxygenating. It does way more than shaking or splashing. The resulting wort is foamy and I have yet to NOT have a vigorous fermentation the following morning.

Just buy it!
Works awesome! Wish I had bought this years ago and stopped wasting money on disposable bottles. The o2 flow meter is the real star of this unit. No doubt I will get proper aeration without waste. Do the math on cost per tank vs a disposable bottle. Cost of bottle and first fill pays for itself. If you can afford it, don’t hesitate!

Easy to dial in flow on oxygen
Use this for aerating wort before adding yeast. So far been using between .75-1.0 on the dial with my air stone.

works great on a 5 bbl setup
I'm using this while transferring to my fermenter off a 5 barrel kettle. The flow selector works really well, and the gauge makes it easy to see how much O2 is left in the tank. It's hooked up to a large 4 ft high O2 tank. Very happy with it.

Too Easy
Should have bought this sooner. Realized I was over-oxygenating up until now when I used the disposable oxygen tanks and basic regulator. This unit attaches easily to a CGA 540 oxygen tank and the Anvil O2 wand. Was surprised when using pre-defined flow rate and time at how little oxygen was used but had a HEALTHY yeast start. Think in the long run this will pay for itself in consistency and using less oxygen. Couldn't be simpler to use.
