Yeast and CO2

I used 2 bottles & 1/4" tubing to make the CO2 generator. Filled bottle #1 with 6 cups of warm water, 3/4 cup of sugar & 1 packet of yeast. On day one I had readings of 2k+. Day two the level were about 1200. Day three they are down to around 700. I'm happy so far with the initial results
just gotta find a way to may it last longer.
Thanks for sharing your results Raul Duke (y)
Couple thoughts... You could try upping the initial gravity of your water/sugar mix to something like 5 Cups water & 1 1/2 of sugar. That would probably get you another day or 2 before you would have to empty out the fermented sugar water and start the process again. Just make sure that there is no possibility of your air lock becoming clogged because your fermentation is going to be pretty serious and if you pop a bottle it will make a huge stinky mess. Also you can re use the yeast from your old fermented sugar water, just leave a 1/2 cup or so behind then hit it with your new warm water and new sugar and your air lock will be bubbling probably within an hour.
