what accessories do you guys use to attach to your oxygen tanks for wort oxygenation?

I've been using something similar to this for over a decade (although the stone isn't detachable on mine).

I have a similar one but without the wand (the stone just attaches direct to the tubing). Now that I ferment in kegs I replaced the O2 stone with a ball lock disconnect. I rarely use pure O2 any more, but it is nice to have the ability to add a shot to something like a big barleywine.

Thanks guys, okay. So it's kind of a specialized homebrew supply tool.

I didn't see them at my online homebrew stores in canada, so I might end up doing a big morebeer.com order or some other site.

sort of pricey, isnt it though?

Yes, and to be honest I don't think it's worth the investment. I haven't noticed any flavor differences using pure oxygen in any of my beers.

appreciated, but i have had significant trouble with higher OG beers using liquid yeast. though over the next year i intend to do lower gravities mostly.

keeping that in mind, maybe i'll keep monitoring the situation first.

Try using a mix stir or even just a long sanitized spoon to whip in a second shot of aeration about 12 to 18 hours after the initial pitch. The oxygen doesn't have to come from pure O2, it can be from room air.

You can also make an effective aerator out of a piece of racking cane and allow physics to do the work for you (my current version is made from 1/2" OD 1/4" ID acrylic tubing, so that it fits 3/8" ID silicone tubing tightly). This aerator design is a based on the Bernoulli principle. The reduction in diameter causes an increase in fluid speed while causing a corresponding drop in fluid pressure through the aerator.  The combination increased fluid speed and decreases fluid pressure creates a vacuum that sucks air in through the holes and mixes it with the wort.  It is a very effective aerator design.

excellent, now that is something more affordable looking. i just like the idea of making my own stuff for beer. thanks sac.

It's just a convenience factor. 1-2 minutes as opposed to 5-10 minutes or 30+ minutes shaking. That said, nothing wrong with using a mix stir or simply shaking if that's your thing. And if you are using dry yeast no need for pure o2 unless you just want to (or any o2 at all I recon).

None! Not needed. A waste of money. We do not artificially put O2 in the wort.

Ha! Busy brewing and smoking. Did a Wagyu brisket...WOW! Maybe the best ever.

You mean, you wonder were "they" went.

FWIW it's not a "waste of money". Just depends what you want to spend money on. I prefer using pure o2 because it is convenient and easy.
