well mine tan for about 3 weeks on the 1st pack of yeast, finally changed it
last night, and for sure it's Champaign yeast, smelled like it, didn't want
to taste the alcohol in the reactor to be totally sure but without the co2
in the liquid could it really be Champaign?

There are several new posts about this system.
Mine has been running two and a half weeks now and still going strong.
Here are a few things I have learned.

1.Hang the Reactor on the tank .This shortens
the tube length and gives bubbles more often than putting the Reactor
below the tank with a long tube.

2. The "Stabilizer" is baking soda.If you have hard water don't use the
whole package.
I use half a package or about one half tsp.

3. The slower the bubbles move up the ramp the better.So experiment with
the placement
of the bubble counter/diffuser.Mine is off axis
from vertical about five degrees.
With the bottom just slightly closer to the edge
of the tank than the top.
But yours may differ.

4. If you use your own Yeast. Use champaign
yeast rather than wine or bread yeast.
It takes longer to start but will last longer.
Three packs of champaign yeast are supplied
with the unit.

Hope this helps.
