I use 1/2 teaspoon of bread yeast, 1.5 liters of water and 2 cups of sugar. It takes a while to get started but runs for quite a while.
Wouldn't it make more sense to make DIY Co2 out of homebrew? If you are into both, that is...out of curiosity, has anyone tried to make a homebrew with the diy CO2 leftovers?
The recipe I am probably going to use isDoes anyone else have any to add? I know there's many more user's here using their own DIY CO2 recipes....
I was wondering this as well. I think the bicarb (baking soda?) acts as a stabilizer to an extent, but hopefully someone more knowledgable can shed some light on this...Undawada said:The recipe I am probably going to use is

1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1/3 tsp active dry yeast
I don't know why bicarbonate of soda, but that's what someone told me would help. If anyone knows why, I am rather curious...
And I might try adding yeast nutrient too.
*BAM*, pieces of plastic bottle shrapnel went flying all over the place, it was a real nightmare (and a mess). I definitely cheated death on that one as 2 shards of sharp soda bottle plastic wound up lodged 1/4" deep in a nearby plaster wall.
