Description

Oxygenating your wort prior to pitching the yeast is a vital step in the brewing process that many brewers do not pay much attention to. Ideally your wort would have an oxygen level of 8 ppm (parts per million) however most brewers only achieve 2.5 4.5 ppm without using an aeration system. Using this wort aeration system you can easily achieve nearly double the oxygenation as you would by shaking or stirring your fermenter! using a wort aeration system will not only be far more safe than shaking your carboy around but will also contribute to lower final gravities, quicker fermentation, and a cleaner fermentation. Cleaning your aeration system is as easy as putting your air tubing and oxygen diffusion stone in your sanitized solution. Diffusion stones may also be cleaned by placing in boiling water or by briefly baking it in the oven. Be sure to never handle the diffusion stone with your bare hands as natural skin oils can clog the stone's pores. Carboy shown for illustrative purposes, does not come with carboy.

    • One Star to a 5 star unit for $1.87 - Thank you for the experience and others can benefit

I rate it one Star because of damage and not a clearly thought out design but there is instructions in how to make it 5 Star rating! Continue reading please My - Complete Oxygenation System with the Pump for Homebrew - by LD Carlson that I received was damaged at two main points involving the aquarium line hoses connecting to the large round white air filter. At both of these points the hose was kinked flat. And even after cutting the ends off that were kinked and after a bear of a job reattaching them ( don't do this step just send it back)--(I should have ) I got the hoses reattached and even after soaking the Stainless steel oxygen diffuser stone in warm water solution could not get no air to come out of the DF. stone ?? What I did next was to test the pump for air production and the pump works well blowing bubbles in the water...evidently air/fluid dynamics were not employed properly and is probably also the reason other aeration system pumps being sold on Amazon don't work well in this price range either. (Now how to fix it ! ) F.Y.I. In order for a diffuser to work there needs to be a check valve installed a least a foot away from the pump. You can find one at Walmart's pet department and the part is made by :Aqua Culture It is a one-way check valve and is sold for a $1.87 ...The Walmart's part number is 079285405138 then just follow instructions on pkg. and install on the tubing with white arrow facing way from pump and toward the hose going to the diffuser stone and your aeration pump system will work ! (Also you do not need the round white air filter part) although you can use it still...you don't need it is because the pump itself has a little felt washer the filters air going into the pump that will need to cleaned or replaced from time to time - Now you have a 5 star system - thank you LD -Carlson for the experience in solving and fixing this product. ... show more

    • Great price, but may require fixing.
Unfortunately, I used this on a batch of wort without testing it first. The bubbling seemed really anemic. When I tested it in a clear glass in water, sure enough, barely any bubbling. I hope the yeast got enough oxygen. Fortunately, I read another review where someone disassembled the pump and slightly bent the rocker arm with the magnet back. Tested it out, and night and day difference - lots of bubbles! I think this is a great deal, but seems highly likely any given unit will need to be repaired to work properly, so I only gave it 3 stars. ... show more

    • Works as advertised
Started an apple cider just to test this out. Let it aerate for about 35 minutes before pitching the yeast, and three hours later the brew is aggressively fermenting. It appears to have worked brilliantly, though I will need to make more brews to confirm this. Did come with some kinks in the line, but it was probably from transit and does not appear to be hampering the system in any major fashion. ... show more

    • Had to buy a new stone
The pump worked but the stone was clogged from the beginning. I tried boiling, baking, and soaking in sanitizer and nothing worked to unclog it. Update: bought a new stone and it worked fine. I give it 4 stars not 5 since the original stone didn’t work.

    • It works!
Aerates my wort... That's exactly what I bought it for. It's also silent!

    • Pumps oxygen into liquid
Initially, all I was getting was a single stream of small bubbles which wasn't what I expected. Placing the hose in water without the diffusion stone blew bubbles so I bought another diffusion stone and now I have a steady stream of multiple bubbles as desired. And no, I didn't handle the first stone with bare hands. ... show more

    • Works great, but with a few extra steps
The first time I used it I was not happy with the results. But after reading some reviews I decided to try a few things. I tried the check valves that some people suggested but they did nothing. I also tried removing the filter, but that didn't improve air flow next batch. What I found works is to put the stone in boiling water with the pump running, then put it directly into the wort without shutting off the pump. I had it foaming out of the fermenter. ... show more

I've read a lot of negative reviews about this product but decided that the low cost was worth giving it a try. Yesterday, I made a 1-gallon batch of Blueberry Mead and used the oxygenation pump instead of my usual method of constant stirring/shaking of the fermentation bucket/carboy. I was amazed at how quickly this pump infused the must with oxygen! Had I put the must into a carboy, it would likely have bubbled out the top! The pump is quiet enough but tends to vibrate heavily; I solved this by putting it on a folded dish towel. IMPORTANT: before you place the stone in your must, make sure the unit is ON and blowing air, to avoid clogging stone. I'll be using this often enough to amend my review if necessary. So far I am impressed! 12/10/22: Sorry I wrote such a positive review! I made another two batches of mead before the thing simply stopped working. The output of oxygen decreased gradually until the unit stopped working altogether. I tried every suggestion I read on the internet to clean it and get it going again, but to no avail. Not worth it. ... show more
