Description
Oxygen cylinder 1 litre with food-grade oxygen – Oxyturbo
Oxyturbo disposable 1 litre oxygen cylinder with food-grade oxygen, made for safe and efficient oxygenation of wort by homebrewers and microbreweries. Many have previously used technical gas intended for welding equipment. This cylinder is intended for food use.
Please note: This product is only available in Norway.
The cylinder fits Oxyturbo oxygen regulators and comes with an integrated base that keeps it stable. If you already have an Oxyturbo regulator, for example from when Jula sold Oxyturbo oxygen cylinders (which were not food-grade), you can use it with this cylinder.
Features
- Disposable 1 litre cylinder with food-grade oxygen

- Dangerous goods: shipped on a pallet only, not as a parcel
How to use the oxygen cylinder
We recommend the cylinder together with the Oxyturbo Minor O2 oxygen regulator with pressure gauge and 1/4" John Guest pushfit, which is easy to use with our flow meter. The oxygen is fed into the chilled wort through an oxygenation stone, before the yeast is pitched.
Why oxygenate the wort?
Yeast needs oxygen to multiply and give a stable, efficient fermentation. Too little oxygen can cause sluggish fermentation, poor attenuation and off-flavours. It matters most with high OG, lagers and large batches. Read more in our article on oxygenation of wort.
Requirements for food-grade oxygen
As a store selling ingredients and equipment for beer production, we are obliged to sell food-grade oxygen. If the beer is to be distributed, for example as samples, for sale or for judging in competitions, the Norwegian Food Safety Authority is clear that the oxygen must be food-grade.
Shipping of oxygen cylinders
Oxygen cylinders are classed as dangerous goods and can only be shipped on a pallet. This adds a dangerous goods surcharge, so please contact us if you want to order with delivery. The shipping price shown automatically in the cart does not include this surcharge. Retailers who want to sell the cylinders locally around the country are also welcome to contact us.
Frequently asked questions about the oxygen cylinder for wort
How much oxygen does the wort need?
For 25 litres of ale with OG up to 1.060 we recommend 8 ppm, which equals 1 litre per minute for 80 seconds. Ales above 1.060 and lagers need 14 ppm, that is 1 litre per minute for 160 seconds.
When should the oxygen be added?
Only to the chilled wort, before the yeast is pitched. Never add oxygen after fermentation has started.
What pressure and which stone should I use?
We recommend a regulator pressure of 0.5–1 bar and a 0.5 micron oxygenation stone.
Can the oxygen cylinder be shipped as a parcel?
No. Oxygen cylinders are dangerous goods and are shipped on a pallet only, with a dangerous goods surcharge. Contact us to order with delivery.
