Tradeflame 930ml Oxygen cylinder

[Coldspace]

I'm no idiot when it comes to hacking mechanics but I wasted my time and money on those little throw away bottles.
If your inclined to brew for the rest of your life then get a real set up its incredibly efficient and hassle free.
An exchangeable bottle or whatever but with the big standard thread fittings.
I went the Bunnings bottle, with regulator from Total tools and all other fittings from the local home brew store.
Work out the math.

Your right, I will eventually get around to a bigger more economical setup. My bro is getting into brewing , might sting him up for half....

Is it ok to store the trade flame o2 with the eBay regulator attached?

Depends how much you trust a $30 reg. Against my better judgment I'm leaving mine attached, will see if that works out

Mine emptied after a few uses. Could have been user error... haven't bought a new bottle to test.

I gave it a spray with starsan as it usually shows up leaks fairly well. Couldn't see any bubbles. Think I'll leave it on for now.

Have had my current O2 bottle for well over a year, with the eBay regulator always on. No problem whatsoever.

EDIT: I checked and it's been exactly a year, and about 25 brews oxygenated. Still going strong.
