WTB an aeration stone on a tube

What are you trying to do exactly ?

Nev, It is what I use to oxygenate the wort prior to pitching the yeast.

Does look like it Geoff.

The link doesn't have a pic Jeff but I would recon that is it from the description.

I will give 'em a call when I have checked out the other suggested suppliers

 

[dicko]

disagree.

I dunk mine in starsan after use while still bubbling (important, you don't want that stuff entering the stone and blocking the pores), pull out, dry with paper towel, blast with flame torch then wrap in aluminium foil.
Before next use remove foil and blast with again flame torch.

Too easy!

That is not a bad idea Florian but I wouldn't try it at the moment with the plastic tube attached.

YES I BELIEVE SO KEGKING.COM.AU SELL SOMETHING LIKE THAT

Mate, I cant see the thing I am after in their latest catalogue, do you have a link?

I see that they have the diffusion stones but not the ones that are attached to a long s/steel tube.

Yeah, fair enough. I got the one from morebeer that you linked to in the first post.

I see, I do the same with one on the end of gas line via a John Guest fitting.
Mine doesn't bend but I have the reg set quite low. Duration of 2 mins get me the required O2 levels.
I wash it off after use in water then leave it soaking in in beer line cleaner till next use.
Looks sparkling clean

that was close to 3 years ago, think it was around $35 but I also ordered a whole heap of other stuff at the same time, so not sure what it would have been by itself.

Nev, I had a very similar set up and I was rinsing it in boiling water and then storing it in Starsan in a long plastic tube but I noticed that a lot of crud was collecting around the JG fitting so I then got a piece of beer line and connected a barbed stone to the s/steel tube and this was a lot neater but when I discharge it in boiling water to clean it after use the beer line splits and the barb falls off.

It is a classic case of buy once and buy right....with what I have spent on two stones I could have done as Florian did and just get one from the USA.

Thanks Florian, so it will work out about the same or even possibly a bit less to get one from G and G
