where to get co2 regulator for diy co2?

hello again every1. sure if this is the right area for this question. but i was about to go and get some yeast and sugar and make some homeade co2 but i have no idea where to buy a regulator. i googled homebrew kits in my area and apparantly there are none. Can i get one at lowes or walmart in the fish aquarium area?

you don't need one when you use a bucket......Who ever told you that, tell them to go find a big stick so you can hit them with it.
Just mix the crap and let it ferment in the room make sure you have a small fan gently blowing by the bucket to circulate the co2.

are you talking like a co2 meter so you know what levels are in your room?

no but i should prob think about getting that too depending on how much they cost. I was talking about a little regulator that u connect to the 1/4 inch tubing that would be coming out of the 2 liter bottle. The one i saw on this site had two airpockets that you fill half way with water, and so when the co2 passes thru you can see it bubble thru.

i think ill just buy some yeast and sugar and not worry about the tubing and regulator and just put in in there like you suggested woodsmaneh. thnx again

did you do the maths as to how much sugar you would need to raise CO2 concentration to right level? this method is not efficient. you'll get a ton of alcohol out of it though

i did no math whatsoever. i just read a post and thought it sounded good. I read it this forum posted by someone named ninja. he seemed to kno what he was talking about and got alot of posotive comments. From what i read i basically use 1 tbs yeast per cup of sugar. from what i read the ammount of water doesnt seem to matter much as long as everything gets mixed together well. What i plan to do here in a few minutes is use 1 gallon water jugs, mix up the concoction, and poke a hole in the lid of the jug, and vwa la. plus my good friend is an ancoholic so i hope it will be a win win

i guess im the type of person that has to see for myself. ive already got the ingredients so ill see what happens and let you guys kno if i think my babies benifit
