Default DIY CO2 Question

What a coincidence, I just got back from the basement and drilling a hole in
the top of a 64 oz. Apple & Eve bottle! Tell the truth, I only used it
because I didn't have any soda bottles around, but you're right, of course.
The downside is that it will be harder to find a place to put the bigger
bottle with all the doohickies and whatsits I've got sticking out the back
of the tank.

Thanks!

a much better choice than a soda bottle is a 64oz juice bottle. mine had
apple juice in it. the sides don't collapse when you pick it up, they have
built in handles and a nice wide mouth for filling.

most importantly however...they are very hard to tip over due to their

full
width bottoms and lower profile.

lose the soda bottle.

drink the apple juice.

be happy!

I'm about to start a batch of yeast in a soda bottle which I'm going to

use
to inject CO2 into my power head. Does anyone have an opinion on whether
it's better to feed the bubbles into the venturi or into the riser tube

(no
prefilter)? I can't inject it into my canister because the gas makes it
rattle.

Also, I'm collecting horror stories about exploding DIY yeast systems to
tell my wife while I'm hooking it up (in the living room).

Oh, and I may be looking for a roommate...

Thanks,
kush
