CO2 problems
Ok.... so far everything I have read about a DIY CO2 setup is very
similar. I opted to by the Nutrafin system... but with the packets they sold me I was getting nothing. I think the yeast was dead. Regardless, I re-made my own mixture with yeast and baking soda using the same measurements that come in the packets. I finally got bubbles, but they only lasted a couple hours then nothing. I then removed the Nutrafin canister and used a 1 gallon juice bottle, increased the amounts of everything and presto... great bubbles. But again it only lasted a couple hours. What is going on!?!?!? It is very frustrating. I have soft water here; we have a water softener in our home. Does that make a difference? Should I try a different brand of yeast? Right now I am using Red Start Active dry yeast which was just what was at the local supermarket. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |
