Hello, and thanks again for all the helpful advice in response to my earlier
questions on setting up a DIY yeast CO2 system.

I have a new problem, after 2-3 days of vigorous activity, the bubbles stop.
If I shake or squeeze the bottle gently, a flurry of bubbles reappears, but
then it dies again.

I've been using 1 cup white sugar to 1 teaspoon yeast, with a dash of baking
soda. Tap water is about pH 7 and GH 30-40.

What's going wrong?

Thanks,
Dinyar
