Inline oxygen setup question

[cino101]

Have a 1/2npt oxygen stone that I was going to directly attach to a tee but after reading about cleaning issues and possible contamination, I want the stone to be removable post brew day. So I attached it to a female-female cam lock but I'm worried that it doesn't protrude into the direct flow of the beer. Any thoughts if this setup will still work as intended?

I really like the idea and setup. I would think it would probably work, but I'm not sure if anyone has tested this method or has the means to.

If you throttled the flow I bet you would get aeration. Cool setup

How did it work?

Im actually getting ready to do something similar and had the same concern, I have had mine directly installed but you are right the cleaning is an issue. Which is why im looking into a quick disconnect setup.. let me know how it worked for you.. otherwise ill probably try it soon.

I'm sure it'll work out, you're releasing O2 into the wort, it doesn't matter if the stone is in the direct path or not just that it's pushing O2 out.

Hi,
I use the same setup as in your photos and it works great, don't worry.

Hi, Cleaning post-brew seems easy enough, but what is your method of sanitizing before flame out - do you recirc with the stone installed?

I dunked mine in a bucket of star San.
