I may be interested as well.

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.

Now THIS I like a lot: http://www.williamsbrewing.com/INLINE-T ... 8C106.aspx

All this oxygenation talk is definitely getting me thinking too...

Saw that chris! very neat... I figured you guys can build one for less than 80 bucks though...

Chris Craig · November 08, 2012, 09:59:54 AM

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.

Thats a good point...

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.

Thanks nice link - yeah I think this is on the list for next addition to the CFC...

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.

brew · November 08, 2012, 03:54:02 PM

letting you know asap - add one for me if you can... really appreciate it ...

fakr · November 08, 2012, 03:56:09 PM

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.

brew · November 08, 2012, 04:06:48 PM

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...

jeffsmith · November 08, 2012, 04:54:55 PM

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...
