Default Nutrafin CO2 Refill contents

The basic Reagent it´s sugar ... 7 tablespoons
The activator is 1/4 teaspoon of Dry Yeast

The stabilizer looks like baking soda with something like amoniac (it smells
like it) 2 teaspoons ? I´m not sure of that... if someone knows, please tell
me ..

Thank You

Yeast, sugar and water.

I use the Nutrafin diffuser with my own DIY CO2 system - a pair of two
liter bottles in weekly rotation. The recipe I use for a 2-liter
bottle is one liter of water, 1.5 cups of sugar, and teaspoon of yeast
(1/2 of a dry yeast packet).

I'm using common bakers yeast, though I find I get much better results
with Red Star brand than I did with Fleischams (spelling?). Eventually
I want to try brewer's yeast, since it's supposed to last longer, but
I haven't looked around for it yet.
