Change your yeast amount to 1 tsp. Use hot tap water. It grows best in 120 degrees. Are you using 2 bottles of yeast mixture? I don't think you need so much tubing but that shouldn't matter. Looks like your green bottle is sucked in instead of pressure going out. The dry yeast should be kept in the frig when it's not used. You may have just gotten a bad batch. When it's cold in your house it doesn't last as long. I would change each bottle at different times so you don't have a huge CO2 blast and then none.
