UK Oxygen Cylinder

Martybhoy · Jun 8, 2017

Hi, I'm interested in buying an oxygen stone and saw one from Northern Brewer being sold in the UK. BUT, I believe the UK and the US have different cylinder threads.

So can anyone tell from these pictures if the oxygen regulator will fit UK cylinders?

I can confirm that US and GB cylinders have completely different threads.

Oh!

Also GB cylinders often have a pin index system unless you specify 'Bull-nose" fitting
I think the Irish have a different system altogether tho can't confirm that scientifically/catergorically

Also don't put oil or grease ANYWHERE ON THE FITTINGS, unless you want an early death

Sounds a little daunting. There's not much info on the web about it, and homebrew sites seem to prefer selling air pump kits. Going to start with one of them. Then possibly upgrade to O2 in the future

There are plenty of oxygen stones available in the U.K. I got one from brewbuilder and oxygen from a local supplier. Works a treat. Not a lot more expensive than a pump really.

What's your set up? Oxygen tank into regular brewing hose, via a regulator? If so, where did you get the regulator?

Can't remember where I got it from but something like this will do.

You will also need a barb outlet to go on it.

Its not a normal brew hose that I'm using as I had another bit of pipe around, but a brew hose would fit on the barb I have

No need for a regulator with pressure gauge as you need to adjust the flow so it's right visually. Basically so low that you barely see the bubbles at the surface.
