Been lurking for awhile, and thanks to much info from the group I've
got a nicely planted and healthy 30 gallon with 8 species of plants running off a DIY CO2 injector. What I've been wondering is, in principle I should be able to get 3x the CO2 and much longer lived yeast cultures if I could run the CO2 setup aerobically, rather than fermentatively. Is anyone experimenting with doing this? Some technical barriers around how to get O2 into the CO2/yeast container (if only we could use the CO2 that the plants were producing, Lovelock would be so amused). Perhaps a simple air pump/airstone fed into the CO2/yeast container with a one-way valve to maintain positive pressure? Sure this would dilute the gas mixture that goes into the tank, but could this be compensated for by e.g. using a more efficient gas injection/dissolution setup on that end of the system? Otherwise I'd be happy to hear about any advice on distilling the ethanol out of my aged cultures... so long as I'm recovering my sugar input one way or the other, I'll be happy ![]() Thanks for any feedback or pointers. |
