Oxygenation Kit - Partial System

Description

This Oxygenation System pumps pure oxygen into your cooled wort using a disposable oxygen tank and stainless steel diffusion stone. Takes a mere 1-2 minutes of operation to achieve adequate oxygen levels. Comes with a regulator for disposable oxygen tank, sterile inline filter, our threaded .5 micron stainless steel oxygenation stone and tubing.


Yeast need oxygen to make good beer. The problem is that after boiling for an hour the wort is void of oxygen. Fermentations with low levels of oxygen will produce yeast that start slower, have sluggish ferments, and are more likely to poop-out and stop fermenting. On the contrary, fermentations that have been infused with oxygen will have healthier yeast that start faster, ferment faster, have a greater tolerance to alcohol, produce beers with less residual sugar, and produce better overall flavors.

Currently, the standard practice of getting oxygen to the yeast is to splash the wort as it enters the fermenter or to shake the fermenter once full. This practice is definitely better than nothing, however it is impossible to infuse enough oxygen by shaking or splashing and the air you do infuse is usually contaminated to some extent.


Please Note: Disposable Oxygen tank is Not Included.  These are available at some hardware stores. Each disposable oxygen tank will last for approximately 10-15 five gallon batches.

About the inline filters: There are two sides to the filter - an "in" and an "out". The direction you use doesn't matter, however, you want to take note of which way you first push air through it and always keep it that way. There is an arrow on the edge of the filter housing that we use to keep the air flow going one direction when using it. The filter should never get wet, so don't dunk it in sanitizer. If you want to clean the outside of it, use Alpet D2. To store the filter, use a little tinfoil on the "In" of the filter and store in a zip-lock bag.

Oxygen Regulator Features:

  • 1/4" Barb Output
  • Max Delivery Pressure: 100 PSI
  • Max Flow Rate:  180 CFH
  • Regulator is Left Hand Thread
  • Stainless Steel Actuating Rod
  • Machined brass body with adjusting cap, piston and hose connection

Disposable Oxygen tanks at hardware stores state in their SDS that they are not to be used for food grade products because the tanks were not sanitized before filling. I am concerned that even placing a filter in line will not aid defusing the health risk. Where do I find a food grade disposable tank?
BN2Wild on Nov 9, 2019
BEST ANSWER: We have never had an issue with contaminated beer that we could say came from the oxygen tank. I personally have trusted these sanitary filters with thousands of dollars worth of product and they have never let me down. That said, we are not sure where to get a food grade disposable oxygen tank. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Could the "oxygen stone" also double as a "carbonation stone?"
John B on Dec 17, 2021
BEST ANSWER: One could use the stone to carbonate one's beer. However, then it shod not be used at a later time, to apply Oxygen to stimulate yeast in fresh wort because of the potential to bring contaminants into the fresh wort.
You should have separate stones for each purpose, IMHOP.

Very good product, would recomend.
Works great. Easy to use. I gave it 4 stars because there is no pressure gauge. No product for a beer kit has it yet but when they make it ill give them 5 .

Works great
I prefer the systems that use the stainless rod instead of the black tubing but this one works fine. My fermentation and attenuation is more consistent and complete with the use of oxygen and a starter. I have not tried a side by side comparison for flavor but consistency I think is key in brewing.

Happy Yeast = Better Beer
The benefits of oxygen to yeast health are undeniable. Why not give your little buddies the best possible chance at making great beer? This set-up gets the job done well. The black hose between the air filter and the stone is pretty rigid and can be difficult to manipulate. A ss wand might be preferential, but that would up the cost.

Works well
No issues at all. Hooked it up to the tank and it seems to work great. Fermentation seemed better after doing so vs. the shake method. Worth the price in my opinion.

Easier than shaking
This has made my beer much better. Easy to use and no more agitating a heavy fermentor.

Great product.
I use oxygen in my beer and couldn't be happier with the results. I could easily see the benefit by purchasing this product by how well the yeast took off. Stone cleans up easily boil it for 5 min. Highly recommended.
