I use a 4 cup measuring cup my wife has, I fill it sort of round at the 4 
cup line, so I probably use 4.5 cups.  I am guessing that is too much as 
there is sugar left when the bottle dies from alcohol poisoning.  I do get 
about 3-4 weeks per run.  I try to change a bottle every week or so.  I use 
bakers yeast, ought to try beer or something else drinkable ;-)  I really 
ought to get bottled CO@, but my wife is remodeling the house and burning up 
the loose change.  She got me my second 55 when we moved in, so for the time 
being I'll humor her.
