  • 4'' carb stone big enough for 7bbl batches

    A small carbonation stone made of 316L sintered stainless steel.  The pores are 2.0 microns.  The tank connection is 1.5” TC.  The gas connection end is ¼” Female NPT threads.  When carbonating a tank place the carbonation stone as low as possible in the tank to get the best results.  Small carb stones will take longer to carbonate a tank than a longer carbonation stone will, but it will still get the job done.  The carb stones are also used to aerate wort in order to achieve a healthy fermentation.  For aeration of wort the carb stone is generally placed in line right after exiting the heat exchanger on the way to the fermenter.  When carbonating a tank this small sized carb stone is recommended for small tanks of 3 barrels or less.  Use care when handling and cleaning sintered stainless steel carbonation stones so you don’t plug up the pores.  Never use a brush to clean a carb stone.  Best practice is to immerse in an ultrasonic bath for cleaning.


    Is this stone big enough for a 7bbl bright tank?

    it is 4''

    If not what size should we get?

      We use a 6"stone in a 10bbl carbonator and it works perfectly. Your 4"will work fine.

        Surface area

        Bigger is better with carb stones. Yes your stone will work but a bigger stone will get it done faster. It exposes more surface area to CO2.
