Alright, I've always had a fine time doing the DIY CO2 with the 2 liter bottles...but for some reason it hasn't been working lately. A couple weeks ago one the bottle stopped producing CO2, so I mixed up another batch. Nothing. I waited a few days. Nothing. I cracked open the bottle and it had a rotten smell to it, along the lines of bad eggs. Thinking it might have been the yeast, I tried a different kind...nothing. Within an hour or two it takes on a very rotten smell.
For the life of me, I can't figure out what's going wrong. I tried mixing up a little CO2 with some sugar in a bowl, and I got that nice yeasty bread smell. I do it in the bottle...it stinks to high heaven.
Any ideas?
