Adding oxygen to wort/ yeast starter

Sep 05, 2006 3 Replies

Hi, had some other questions occur to me. I was thinking of buying an oxynator kit, but they seem awfully expensive at 35-45 dollars. Can someone suggest a cheaper alternative? are the regulators and stones available elswhere for less? would using a medical oxygen tank and a hose and stone be better?


If I have extra malt extract, can i boil it in a little water and add yeast? or does it need to be hopped as well?


Thanks!

No hops are necessary.

Hope that helps, Wild

You don't need medical O2. Just use the Bernzomatic O2 available at Home Depot. A discussion on another NG a whle back revealed very little difference among the various O2 tanks.
