I used to be a big proponent of using juice bottles as well, probably for
the same reasons you like them - sturdy bottles with larger base, and larger
openings for adding ingredients. Then one day I discovered how much the
lids leak under pressure. When I pressed down on the lid, the bubble-rate
increased dramatically. I have sinced switched back to the soda bottles
which are clearly designed to hold in, guess what? CO2! The lids are
obviously more air-tight to keep the CO2 in and keep the fizz fresh in the
soda. I just wish the bottles' plastic wasn't so thin, and that the bottoms
weren't so rounded. Many people set the bottles in little boxes to keep
them secure.

FWIW,
Jody

Somebody suggested once that I have two generators going at once, and
stagger their replacement. In that fashion, it wouldn't matter too much
how
long the new one takes to start steady production, since the other will
continue. I'm going to hook two bottles up to a single air-stone/impeller
input, with a check-valve for each before the T-junction. As soon as I
can
convince my 5 y.o. daughter to consume another 8L of cranberry juice, that
is!

Cheers;
Duncan

Thanks. I read the article as well. So it takes about a week before
production is strong enough to hook-up?

my jello mix would start producing bubbles in a few hours. Mix it up and
hook it up right away, no need to wait.
