Those little red cans of Oxygen

[jeffy]

For me, dropping in a stone attached to an O2 tank for a minute is way less effort than shaking, pouring back-and-forth, getting out the whisk or hooking up the drill with a whip on it.  The O2 tank is a convenience thing for me.

Me too.  No trouble at all.

As the old back gets in the way at times, the O2 is the low impact solution.

It works especially well for me since I ferment in kegs now. I can stick the aeration wand in there, turn the gas on for a minute, then I'm good to go. With the mix-stir I had to take the liquid tube out when I wanted to aerate, so the blades didn't hit it, and put it back in. That was kind of annoying. Plus it splashed wort all over, making a mess. With a carboy it's fine, but anything with a wide opening, it gets messy.

Hooray!  Do I get a sticker or something? But seriously, on a homebrew level I just don't see the point of pure O2.

Agree. No need for pure O2.

Well crap. Spent the weekend in Buffalo (lost a bet) so I brought a couple home with me to see what all the fuss was about and now I'm hearing it was a waste of money. Plus the damn things are threaded backwards so I don't have anything to screw them onto anyway.
