Disposable Oxygen Tank

[newbiebrew]

I just ordered the oxygen partial system from morebeer which includes a regulator, tubing, and a stone and is intended to be used with a disposable oxygen tank which they said should be availible at most any hardware store. I went to the hardware store and picked up what I thought was the right thing but now im thinking its not. It is one of those red ten gallon air tanks that you use for filling your tires and stuff like that and, after i got to thinking about it, im pretty sure its not the right thing because it is an air tank, not an oxygen tank. If someone could describe in a little more detail or maybe give me some specific brand names of exactly what I am looking for i would appreciate it.

As an extra added note; I get about five batches out of one BernzOmatic tank, aerating a starter for 90 secondes and the main wort for 120 seconds.

Rich, you only get 5 batches out of your tank? I have about 20 on my tanks and I aerate my beer for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes with an aeration stone. Interesting...

I've heard that you you can get adequate oxygen into your starter by shaking it for a few minutes(usually i would doubt this, but i think doc or jamil said it). If this is true than you might think about skipping the 90 seconds into your starter.

You can get plenty of O2 in your starter by using a stir plate... They are cheap and FUN to build

Are you saying that B.B.B sells an attatchment with a stone that will fit that tank? Hmm, I didn't know that. Wow, I gotta get out more often.
