D.I.Y. Yeast/CO2 reactor
MATERIALS NEEDED:
ONE 2 LITER BOTTLE AND LID
2 - 3 teaspoons YEAST
2 cups SUGAR
AIR LINE
WATER
Drill a hole in the lid that is slightly smaller than the air line. This will help make it air tight. Add yeast and sugar to 1 liter of water and pour the mixture into the bottle. Tighten the cap. Push one end of the tubing through the hole in the lid, place the other end in your tank. Replace mixture about every 2 weeks. More yeast will give you more CO2, more sugar will give longer life.
