Yeah, have heard of the Soda water method of CO2 injection, but not particularly confident about the idea...too many mixed reports. I am happy to use DIY yeast, until pressurised becomes an option.

Sorry, off topic!!

I think you can also produce CO2 by mixing vinegar and baking soda. While it's possible to set up a slow drip whereby the vinegar drops slowly into a pile of baking soda, it would be hard to get the CO2 into the tank.

For that reason you might just be able to dump the vinegar and baking soda directly into your tank.


I recommend balsamic vinegar, it has so much more character than regular old white vinegar.
