Good stuff, DrRob! I'm as cheap as they come, and a lot of this I'll put to good use. I'm still working on raising my own food. Funny thing ... a couple years ago I had a piece of driftwood soaking in my rain barrel outside. When I pulled it out it was covered with bloodworms. Unfortunately, this was before I even knew about bloodworms!!! I cleaned the darn thing off! Guess I'll know better next time!
 
And by the way, I did try the yeast/sugar CO2 system for a while. I might try it again, actually. I had been turned off by everyone telling me that unstable CO2 causes BBA and thought I might be doing more harm than good, but the more I study the more I might try it again.
 
Thanks for this post!

I'm still pondering attaching the home brew to the tank, seems such a waste to let the CO2 bubble off through the airlock.

 

[This Old Spouse]

Ha! We've thought of doing the same!

 

[DrRob]

Doesn't work so well with beer as it tends to gas out fairly rapidly at stages.
 
Mead however seems to bubble fairly slowly and constantly for a sensible length of time.

 

[This Old Spouse]

Mead, eh? I've never tried it but always wanted to.

 

[DrRob]

Honey, water, yeast.....wait.

I see a memory loss in my future ...
