Default Yeast production Slows to fast.

I currently use 2 1.87L bottles for my yeast production. I can keep
the CO2 levels up around 20ppm or higher for the better part of the
week. But when I hit about the one week mark my yeast production drops
way off, like to the point where its only 1 bubble every 15 seconds.
This is the same with both bottles. I have tryed changing all the
variables to make it go longer. These bottles where both started at
the same time. Im thinking the only thing that it could be is the
yeast..Should I try a different type...or is there something else that
im missing?

Thanks

Go to a shop where you can get wine making supplies and get some
yeast from Red Star called PREMIER CUVEE. It works well at lower
temps and can handle a alcohol content around 16%. It's much better
than bread yeast.
