Everything is air tight. I checked everything under water to make sure no bubbles of air were going out. I wrapped Teflon all around the thread of the bottles just to make sure.

I believe that the Ph of my tap water might be to high for the yeast to grow healthy. That might be why the 1L bottle got a reaction within a couple of minutes.

I suggest that because I've realize that my girlfriend keeps failing her bread with her brand new bread machine when using fresh tap water. It only works by using water coming for the Brita filter.
