[APD] Re:yeast co2

[Alan and Kim Van Nevel <van_nevel at verizon.net>]

As for a reactor, baby food jar weighted down with rocks, and a small 
powerhead agitating the water/co2 interface worked wonders for me.

For sealing the bottle, home depot usually carries rubber stoppers , with 
or without the holes drilled.  Use a stopper and some rigid tubing to go 
through it, and from there regular airline tubing seals well enough
