Diffusion Stone with 1/4 MFL Connection - 5 Microns

Diffusion Stones, or "Air Stones", are commonly used to aerate wort before fermentation, which helps ensure a healthy start to the fermentation process. They can be attached to compressed oxygen tanks or air pumps, such as those used with aquariums. This "Stone" is made of stainless steel, so it's durable, easy-to-clean, and won't crumble in your wort after a few uses like other materials! The 5 micron stone produces small bubbles that are ideal for efficient absorption of the gas into your wort. It does take more pressure to force air through the smaller pores, which is not a problem when using compressed oxygen, but may not work well with lightly powered air pumps. The Diffusion Stone is also suitable for forced carbonation of beer inside a keg, where the faster absorption of gas achieved by the small 5 micron pore size is a great advantage.
