Haven't considered it before, now you've got me thinking...I think I want to get in on this too. Starting to look like a bulk buy.

Shaking my carboys post filling is the most exercise I get all week. There was a wyeast video where the guy said that shaking the carboy for 45 seconds is enough aeration ... If I eliminate this, how am I supposed to exercise?

Just an FYI, the aeration kit with the wand uses a 2 micron stone instead of the .5 micron stone.  Bigger bubbles are less likely to stay in the wort.

Yeah.  I already started looking at the parts, but I can't seem to find everything in one place, so that'll cost on shipping. OBK has everything except the SS hose barbs and the stone.

Ran across this on HBT. Looks like a compression fitting with some tubing pushed through. I'm guessing a couple of o-rings on the tubing would likely provide a pretty decent seal.

Guys, i pulled the trigger on ordering 1 for myself.  I found out that the shipping address i used (usa) was incorrect so i emailed them and asked that they add 2 more 1/2 ntp stones...

If you guys want one let me know asap and i'll call them and have it added to the order.

Crap, just talked to the company and the item was already shipped....and to the wrong address.

If you guys are willing to wait a little bit, i might have to place another order, to the correct address, and will include your orders.

Yeah I'd really like one of these... we are doing a hops order soon, maybe another run to the US to do the pickup - maybe we could ship it to the same address? Jake is doing the pick up I believe...

I'm very tempted, but I think I'm going to roll with dropping the stone into the fermenter on the end of some tubing for a while and see how that works. I keep telling myself I need to stop adding to my brew rig…
