Looking back now, it was a waste of money for me since I got an aeration wand from Williams Brewing and use the red O2 tanks that BDawg mentioned. But if O2 is really expensive, I guess it wouldn't be worth it.
Just a note: the red O2 can I got at Home Depot is still going strong after 15 batches. I generally only run it about 1.5-2 minutes at the most.
I should probably start a new thread, but how in the world are you getting 15 batches out of one bottle?? I run one minute and get 3 batches, same wand and regulator from Williams.
Not to take things off in too different a direction but the oxygenation setups used to come standard with a piece of flexible tubing instead of the rigid wand that seems to be more common now. I know you can get the older kind still. I easily modified my oxygenator to include a length of copper tubing in between the filter and the stone and it makes a world of difference. Just a thought if anyone still has the older sort.
