DIY CO2
I am not having as much success with my DIY CO2 system as some others seem
to be having. I am using the usual 2L bottle with 3/4 cups of sugar and
1/2 tsp of yeast. No matter what I do, the system seems to function fine
for about a week or two and then stops. I have seen where some have
claimed to have theirs going for months. What could I be doing wrong.
Some facts regarding what I have tried:
1) an output of nothing but an airline tube (into a DIY reactor);
2) a "glass" airstone on the airline output tube
3) more sugar
4) less sugar
5) more head space
6) less head space
7) more yeast
8) less yeast
Any suggestions regarding how I can prolong the CO2 output would be greatly
appreciated.
