• Filtered Air Advantage: This system uses filtered air instead of pure oxygen, saving you from buying replacement oxygen tanks.
• Long - lasting and Affordable: Replacement filters (FIL90) are available for just $4.99 and need replacement every few years.
• Pre - fill Function: Can be used to pre - fill fermenters with sanitary air while you're brewing.
Instead of diffusing pure oxygen into your wort this system uses filtered air. The included air - pump pushes air through an inline sanitary filter which is then dispersed into the wort through our two micron threaded stainless steel diffusion stone. The advantage of an aeration system is that you never have to buy replacement oxygen tanks. The down side is that aeration takes longer than oxygenation. Because the atmosphere is only about 20% oxygen, the diffusion stone must be left running in the wort for approximately 30–120 minutes (however even 5 minutes of aeration is better than shaking the carboy). There is no concern of contamination during this period, however you do have to monitor the fermenter periodically for possible over foaming. While you are brewing, this system can also be used to pre - fill fermenters with sanitary air. Replacement filters, FIL90, which need replacement every few years, are available for $4.99.
About the inline filters: There are two sides to the filter - an 'in' and an 'out'. The direction you use doesn't matter, however, you want to take note of which way you first push air through it and always keep it that way. There is an arrow on the edge of the filter housing that we use to keep the air flow going one direction when using it. The filter should never get wet, so don't try and sanitize it by dunking it in sanitizer. If you want to clean the outside of it, use Alpet D2 (CL60). To store the filter, use a little tinfoil on the 'In' of the filter and store in a zip - lock bag.
This homebrew wort aeration system is perfect for homebrewers who want a cost - effective and convenient way to aerate their wort. You can use it during the brewing process to add air to your wort and also to pre - fill fermenters. With a simple air - pump and an inline sanitary filter, it's easy to operate. There aren't specific size or weight details here, but it's designed to be user - friendly for home use. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced homebrewer, this system can enhance your brewing experience.
