Experience the difference that properly oxygenated (not just "aerated") starters and wort can make in your brewing. You'll get faster starts and more vigorous, complete fermentations.
Oxygen cylinders are available at many large hardware stores (in the brazing, welding sections) or welding supply stores.

ya'll say that the oxygenation of the wort gives lower final gravities would i be right in assuming that also results in higher ABV.

I've gotta say, i love your site, whoever is the webmaster/designer deserves a pat on the back.
(1) If i was to just buy a 3 gallon bottle (the kind you buy at a grocery store to dispense water at home) would i have to worry about flavors from one batch carrying over to another batch?
(2) What size stopper do the one gallon jugs take? i'm sure that i could just buy jugs of cider and keep the . . .

I am new to homebrewing so I need some help. I want to be able to brew enough at one time to accomodate a large group, 30-50 gallons. What equipment will I need to make this happen (brewing, storage, etc.) and how would I go about the ingredients.....all grain brewing or using the extracts? If you could suggest a good reference manual and also give me a ball park cost estimate that would be helpful . . .

I have one of these aeration kits and I was curious if I could use it on a batch of wine. I added way too much sulfite to this batch (I'm at about 100ppm!) and thought I might try to use this to reduce the level a bit in addition to some splash racking. I could also see this as being a very bad idea. Any thoughts?

I live about an hour (if traffic is good) from the address on your website. Do you have an actual store or is everything here based solely online?

I am brewing the Shamrock Stout with Wyeast and after 4 days, the fermentation has seemed to stop. The specific gravity is 1.022. Florida is hot and my house cant get any colder than 75 degrees. Is this interfering with fermentation? What can I do?

I recently purchased your oxygenation kit and I went to home depot and got a bernzomatic O2 cylinder. I read some of the warnings on the package and I am a little concerned that it says "do not inhale, this oxygen not certified for medical use" and "the contents of this cylinder and products of its combustion contain compounds known to the state of california to cause cancer." . . .

Is this the "oxygenator" from Liquid Bread, or some other product?

I looked for the o2 bottles at my local Home Depot (Hawaii). The only ones I found were the red bernzomatic o2 bottles. I noticed the top of the label says "left hand threaded" are these compatable with your o2 system. I also looked at the bernzomatic website and these, that I mentioned, were the only o2 cans available. Thanks again!

I was wondering at what point in the entire brew process that the oxygenation is most beneficial. Would it be ok to oxgenate throughout the primary fermentaion at regular itervals. Is it recommended only twice due to contamination conscerns? My thought was to drill a hole in the bucket lid the same size as the air lock hole and grommet and run the sterilized tubing through there and then oxygenate . . .

The intructions with in the oxygenation system kit says to make a second oxigenation 12 to 14 hours after the first one this was when wort was cool and I threw it into the fermenter, prior to the yeast pitch. I read to never let oxygen in after the pitch. so what should I do? do a second oxigenation as the intruction say or not?

I am making both dry and sweet mead (using your wyeast dry and sweet liquid yeasts). Is this aggressive oxygenation that is done with beers also needed for meads? Should I get the oxygenation system for my mead batches?

I am planning on buying the deluxe kit this weekend, but I notice you are out of stock on the Oxygenation System Kit. Is there something else that I can get this weekend that will do the same thing without breaking the bank?

How do I adjust the oxygen flow rate? Just a small area of bubbles? or do I want it to look like it is at a rolling boil?

Regarding oxygenaton of wort: why is it that the pouring of the wort into the primary (bucket style) isn't enough to airate it sufficiently?
Is there a oxygen testing kit to aid in the determination of dissolved O2, or is it a "hope this is enough" kind of deal?

Concerning the oxygenation system. When I sterilize the stone and vinyl tube, do I have sanitize the inside of the tube as well? Also, I have heard that it is best to boil the stone in order to sanitize it. If so, do I have to take it out of the tube and plop into a container with boiling water? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

A friend of mine raves about the impact of oxygenating his wort prior to fementation. I've been looking locally to see if I can find oxygen canisters that are compatible with your system. Does this canister (available at Lowe's)work with your Oxygenation Kit?

How much of a difference does this really make? Can I get almost the same improvement using the Fermentap spray aeriator (I'm sure I misspelled that)?

Could you explain exactly how this system is used? Are there sanitation issues? Approximately how much oxygen do you use and about how much are the canisters? I am trying to determine if this will be worth the expense.
