I set it up about 3 pm yesterday and when I got up at 7 am I had bubbles.
It still appears to be ramping up. Last hour I had 20 bubbles per minute in the counter and this hour I had 23 per minute. How many bubbles is considered good or normal? I get a lot of conflicting (at least to me) information in my reading.
I took a lot of instructions I found around the Web and made this my own. What you don't see is a second check valve just below the level of the bottom of the tank. You also don't see the air pump on a timer set to go on at night.
My basic recipe was 2 cups water, 1.5 cups sugar, 1/4 t baking soda and 1/4 t Red Star quick yeast (what the nearest grocery store had) dissolved in 1/4 cup warm water.
Thanks in advance for any input. I know there are a lot of ways to do this. No two instructions I found on the Web were exactly alike.
