Title: aeration
Post by: nordic man on September 09, 2014, 10:21:00 PM
Hi all, I wondered if anyone know where to buy pure oxygen for aeration of wort? in the west cork area.

You don't, really.
You need to talk to Wholesale Welding Supplies in Dublin.
You need a reg and disposable cylinder from them.
You then need a flow meter and an airstone, pref stainless, these last items are on eBay.

Check out a post from hop bomb on the subject (thanks Shiny). I recently used this to complete my own setup.

 I lost my bottle of oxy due to a leak (i screw off the regulator now after every use) so had to buy two more recently (one as a spare). WWS have whacked up prices a lot on the oxy bottles...

What kind of price increase are you talking about?
