Since there's a certain amount of variation in DIY CO2 setups, I figured everybody could post their recipe. Right now this is what I use:
1 tsp baker's yeast
3/4 cup sugar
6 cups water
This recipe is OK, but I'm looking for something that lasts a little longer. I think using less yeast might help but I'm not sure. I usually get 10 days max out of the solution.
Now I'm interested in the gelatin mixture I heard somewhere. I'm very curious to try it. I have also heard about adding a little baking soda to increase alkalinity which yeast supposedly does better in. Anyway, post your thoughts or recipes or whatever and maybe all of us DIY CO2 users can find a better way of going about this sometimes tricky affair!
