Eric, glad to hear your getting the same results as I am with the Red
Star yeast. By the way, I also found that the Co2 production lasted
much longer using this brand over the others.

After reading this yesterday, I bought some Red Star yeast last night,
as I had run out of what I'd been using.

Holy cow, this is a lot more active. I put a new bottle on my
two-bottle setup perhaps two hours ago. At this moment, I'm getting a
bubble rate of more than three per second! I've never had this level
of CO2 production before, even with two fresh bottles of the other
brand I was using (yellow-ish packets, forget the name).

It'll be very interesting to do a pH reading in a few more hours to
see what effect this has, and also to see how long this yeast
continues the high production level.

Thanks for the recommendation.
