I've been ignoring it so many times but this was the straw that broke the camels back. It's O2, not 02. As in O for Oxygen, not 0 the number.
Camel's back.

Cop that, pedant.
 
The "camel's" back?
Where did he go? Why did wobbly not believe the "camel" is really a camel?
 
Camel toes are likely to give your beer too much funk.

OK chaps, we all love having fun, but let's get this thread back on topic please.
 
Was good while it lasted. Reddit esque :)

Does anyone know the type of the fitting / thread for the LP side of the Cigweld O2 regulator?
 
Here's my upgraded wort oxygenator.
It's the Bunnings Coregas setup with a Cigweld Oxygen regulator.
I'll get some proper tube before I use it for real. Just gave it a test run @5psi in some Starsan & 60sec on that setting will be more than enough. I don't think I'll need a replacement cylinder for quite a while.

Just a warning about using an airstone with a really stiff gas tube in a SS fermenting bucket .. you can scratch the inside as you wave it around. A wand is a good option so you can control it better than a tube that's bent and doesn't want to go where you want it to.

Ed: suppliers of kits might want to mention this on their sites, as it's a recent thingo; affordable SS only been around for a couple of years so a wand is a relatively inexpensive "must" for SS brewers.

man... you've changed. You use to be living on the edge of wort aeration kits and now this ;)
I've decided to change my tight arse ways. I've seen the light.
I still hold firm on my view of the disposable setup though. I'm more than happy to use it until the little cylinder runs out.
This setup will be part of a much bigger operation in the not too distant future which I'll talk about once we get through some more paper work.

I went with the oxywand from Ross so it sits on the bottom of the fermenter. I ferment in a 50L keg & I think the wand is a much better option.

It's the same as the the fittings that come with the Bossgas regulator......5mm and 3mm Push On outlet with standard 5/8 UNF thread
 
I just zippy tie my airstone to the end of my long plastic paddle . I use to mash in my grains. Spray with starsan then it works well as I can keep it down the bottom and stir slowly while pumping the 02, oops , O2 through.
