I think you need to put away the Co2. Check your other thread you asked the same question about twice.

For a 2 liter bottle, fill 2/3 full of warm water. Add two cups sugar and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon active yeast. That will generate CO2 for about three weeks. Two weeks very well, the third week less so, and a fourth week weakly.

I think 12 days is good.
I change mine every 10 days to keep the flow constant and strong. Anyway, that stuff smells so bad after 10 days I cannot imagine what it smells like after a month. I use so many bottles it would be cheaper just to buy a system. |
