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.

Bryon A on Feb 6, 2018

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)

Diane,
The answer is based on your method of oxygenation, and your batch size. Are you stirring the carb stone in the wort or pumping wort over the carb stone? If stirring, Blichmann suggests 1lpm for every 5.5 gal of wort. If pumping, use 0.5lpm for 1GPM of wort flow, or 0.75lpm for 2GPM. Allow oxygen to flow entire time pumping at those volumes.
Cheers!

I've not read or heard of over-oxygenating your wort. That being said I have the same set up as you and typically push O2 for 2-3 minutes at a higher setting. The product works well.

For a 5 Gal batch I run 1.5 minutes at 1.5 Ltr then shut it down and wait for it to stop bubbling.
Hope this helps

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.
