Interesting. So you have alot more total yeast that way.

What type of bubble rate are you getting?

Phil,

Are you using a homemade bottle and what is you bubble rate and recipe
you
use?

I use the Hagen CO2 bottle. I use a semi-standard recipe:
fill 1st line with sugar
put in 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
pour in proofed yeast starter
dump in 1/4 teaspoon of wine yeast
fill to next line with warm water
(dont shake)

For proofed yeast starter:
stir 1/4 teaspoon of quick-activing yeast in a 1/4 cup warm water
that has 1 TBS sugar in it. Let it stand until its foamy on top.


I found that using wine-yeast alone is "hard to start" and "fizzles"
after a few days. So I mix in quick-rise bread yeast.

My last batch lasted about 1 month which is comparable to those
special packets one can buy from Hagen.

I might try the Jello recipe next time.
