Co2 Diy

DIY CO2 Methods. The room is roughly 8x8x7 with 800w of led. AC infinity intake exhaust set to 75f 50%h. Would a 5gallon fermentation bucket provide enough co2 to be at all noticeable and anyone have experience with a compost bin setup in their space?

You get roughly 20x the volume of CO2 as what you are fermenting for an average 1.060 gravity beer. This of course depends on the gravity of what you are fermenting. A higher gravity has more fermentables and will produce more CO2. So, if you ferment 100 liters of beer that has a 1.060 starting gravity you will get about 2'000 liters of CO2. The next question is your exhaust fan and room. Do you have a grow tent within the room so the exhaust fan exhausts into the 8x8 room? If so then the CO2 produced would mostly stay in the room and the CO2 increase could be notable while fermentation is happening... Unfortunately fermentation is usually pretty quick with the bulk happening in about 2 days. Are you up to fermenting 80-100 liters every 2 or 3 days? If your exhaust fan is blowing air out of the room then I think it will blow out the CO2 as fast or faster than it is produced so you probably won't get much increase in the CO2 concentration within the room.

Hello. Just want to tell you what I do. When you burn a gas or liquid fuel the blue flame is mostly Co2. I use a kerosene lamp turned way down to get as much blue flame as possible. A single burner propane camp stove and small bottle can last a week if you turn it right down. I keep my kerosene lamp in a metal 2 gallon strainer so it can take a small hit without getting knocked over. Please be careful it can burn down the house if you give it a chance. Chuck.
