I think this is a decent regulator (I haven't been able to use it yet) but why can't they just put a barbed fitting in it? My local lowes and home depot don't have flare fittings with a barb. I couldn't even find parts to adapt it to different threads. More Beer sells the fitting but I won't be buying it from them.

This thing works great. You said it too the correct setting and you're good to go. Very simple

Pretty simple piece of gear. I'm sure there is a much cheaper way to add oxygen from a tank but this takes out all the thread and connection research that results in fittings that don't fit. Highly recommend you start oxygenating. It does way more than shaking or splashing. The resulting wort is foamy and I have yet to NOT have a vigorous fermentation the following morning.

Works awesome! Wish I had bought this years ago and stopped wasting money on disposable bottles. The o2 flow meter is the real star of this unit. No doubt I will get proper aeration without waste. Do the math on cost per tank vs a disposable bottle. Cost of bottle and first fill pays for itself. If you can afford it don’t hesitate!

Less cost than a welding regulator and more control

Use this for aerating wort before adding yeast. So far been using between .75-1.0 on the dial with my air stone.

I'm using this while transferring to my fermenter off a 5 barrel kettle. The flow selector works really well and the gauge makes it easy to see how much O2 is left in the tank. It's hooked up to a large 4 ft high O2 tank. Very happy with it.

Should have bought this sooner. Realized I was over-oxygenating up until now when I used the disposable oxygen tanks and basic regulator. This unit attaches easily to a CGA 540 oxygen tank and the Anvil O2 wand. Was surprised when using pre-defined flow rate and time at how little oxygen was used but had a HEALTHY yeast start. Think in the long run this will pay for itself in consistency and using less oxygen. Couldn't be simpler to use.

Speeds up the fermentation process love it

Although I am new to brewing this product was easy to set up and use. Quality construction and precise controls. Good product.

I bought this for my O2 tank it's a perfect fit and I no longer have to deal with the red disposable tanks from the hardware store.

Love having control over my brewing this allows me to get my beers that much more dialed in!

I was getting tired of buying expensive small oxygen bottles for every third our fourth brew. Also disposing of the empties was concerning. This regulator coupled with a refillable tank is the best looking term solution. Flow is controlled without the guesswork. Much more efficient in the long run.

First it is not new. I've been using one for years. others have been selling this exact piece for years in various colors (green gold red). Blichman just wrote their name on this one and made it silver. Additionally it DOES NOT actually MEASURE flow AS CLAIMED IN THE THE DESCRIPTION it just sets an estimated flow as written on the black endcap knob.
