It's probably a bit late to discuss this subject now but has anyone tried to
make a DIY version of this?  An airtight jar filled with cheap bicarbonate
of soda with HCI dripping on it.  Well, I thought with all the yeast
fermentation and fire extinguisher experimenting going around, it might just
be crazy enough to work.

I have tried to do something like that in the past but it wasn't very
successful.  I would love to try again but recently I persuaded my mum to
buy me a manual pressurised system on grounds that I'd stop experimenting
with DIY stuff and spilling sticky yeast, water and suger mixtures on the floor.
