The 2 Micron Diffusion Stone is ideal for carbonation and oxygenation.
The 2 Micron Diffusion Stone is used to oxygenate wort before pitching your yeast. Many brewers will argue that the 2 Micron Diffusion Stone is the perfect oxygenation stone using a normal air pump as well as pure oxygen.
The 2 Micron Diffusion Stone can be attached to the end of the “gas in” line / dip tube on a Keg using 50cm of ¼” tubing. This will rapidly speed-up carbonation process.
The 2 Micron Diffusion Stone is manufactured from Stainless Steel and is ½” in diameter. The stone is 1” in length and has a ¼” Barb.
Storage and Handling:
DO NOT touch the stone with your bare fingers!
Please use gloves when handling the Diffusion Stones as oils found on your skin can clog up the tiny pores.
Handle the stone using the Barb or tubing that has been connected.
Once the tubing is attached, always handle the stone by holding the tubing and not the stone itself.
The best method for unclogging a stone is to pump CO² at about 1 – 2PSI through the stone.
An electric kettle or pot can be used to boil the stone, this must be done for at least 5 minutes to ensure the stone is sanitised and clean.
Sanitiser can also be used to remove bacteria from the outside of the stone and this too can assist with unclogging a blocked stone. Push air thought the stone while it is submerged in the sanitizer solution, run for ± 5 minutes.
Once the stone is cleaned, store in a Zip-Lock Bag or wrap the stone in sanitized aluminium foil until it is needed again.
Please Note:
¼” Tubing is not included.
DO NOT touch the stone with your bare fingers!
Please use gloves when handling the Diffusion Stones as oils found on your skin can clog up the tiny pores. The stone can also be attached by holding the piping
If an aeration pump is used, it is recommended that a “deep water" type pump usually used for aquariums is connected. This is to ensure the pump is strong enough to force the air through the stone and into the wort.
