What oxygen tank? home depot?

[BigNastyBrew]

I'm looking at getting an oxygen set up too. Can I use the aerating stones they sell for aquariums?

Sure can.

I have been thinking about using this method for oxygenating my beer. Problem is, I am a BN short buser, Does anyone have a pic of this contraption hooked up? I'd like to know what it is supposed to look like before I buy the parts.

Ok, got it. The morebeer equipment is $30. I searched Home Depot and I don't see any disposable oxygen tanks (maybe they don't list it online?) How much do the tanks run?

They're in the tools section (at least at Lowe's they are).

They are sold with the tools, next to the welding supplies. The cylinders go for just under $8 at my local Lowe's, not sure about Home Depot.

Had a topic posted a while back, about 2 months. I called Bernzomatic and asked them if the O2 was food grade or viable for us with Food/Beverages, they wrote back and said it was 98% pure and approved for Food/Beverage.

I run full open on the valve while the pump fills the conical. My Belgian Wit started in 2 hours, burping evey 5 seconds. I am two batches into getting into HB'ing again, since college.........
