Well, you can stick the DIY bottle in a bucket of water along with a heater.
Or, you can use champagne yeast, which likes cold a lot more than bread
yeast. In my house, which I tend to keep on the cold side duriong winter,
bread yeast will give me a bubble every 20 to 40 secs. With champagne
yeast, it's more like one every 10 secs. The champagne yeast concoction will
go for at least two months before it peters out. (I don't use the bucket
method because, where my tanks sit, I have no place to hide an unsightly
bucket)
