Yes, the product is CO2 but since the yeast is dead there will be
nothing left to fuel the chemical reaction. That means the CO2 you're
getting is a one-shot deal and the mixture will be "dead" again in a
matter of minutes.

Folks;

I added some yeast and baking soda to a DIY CO2 mix that's been hooked up
for a couple of weeks and losing its steam, er, CO2. Upon adding the baking
soda, I got quite a bit of fizz. Knowing the mix is acidic and remembering
experiments in school with eye-piercing vinegar-and-baking-soda-powered
rockets, I'm guessing the fizz is CO2 and that it's safe to hook up the
reanimated mix immediately - yes? Thanks in advance.
