Hi

Anyone thought about trying anything like this ?

The idea is to get consistent CO2 levels by aiming with the CO2 mix so that it is giving the right CO2 levels after the initial peak and let the ph controller mop up the excess during the first few days, venting it to atmosphere.

I've been thinking about this, since trying out 'turbo yeast' mix (yeast designed to give a 20% yield of alchohol) which has been yielding very high CO2 levels. Just need to sort out the longevity...

Discuss... ?
