Maybe something to do with your yeast..... what kind isit, i use Allisons active dry yeast in mine.

Here's how i mix mine......

Firstly i get a cereal bowl add 1 teaspoon of active yeast and then add half a bowl full of luke warm water, then stir. Leave this to settle until the end.

I then get a 2 1/2 litre bottle, add 2 cups of sugar, then fill the bottle quarter of the way up with luke warm water(shake bottle with hand over opening). I then pour the active yeast mixture into the bottle, and then finally fill the bottle to half way with warm water (i then shake the bottle again to mix it well). I hook it up and start to have bubble within 2 hours.

Other people do it differently but this works for me. Its all about trial and error really, experiment with the mixture.

I just posted this for someone, try it out.
