Grandmaster Brewer
I'm looking to improve on my fermentation methods and I'm looking at O2 systems. I normally just shake the carboy and I get OK results, but I think my brews would improve if I got a better handle on this one aspect of fermentation.
Pricing a 20 CF welding-grade O2 tank, and medical-grade O2 regulators and flow meters, the whole set-up comes in at around $250-300. The money part is not that much of an issue, but the "not knowing if I'm getting the right stuff" thing is a bit of an issue for me.
I want to get good equipment for this and I don't mind spending the money, I just want the right stuff the first time. For those of you using pure O2 to aerate your wort; do you use good regulators and flow meters and if so, which ones do you use? Industrial-grade? Medical-grade? What has been your experience with this equipment?
