I use a 5 gallon carbouy.
Anything smaller is a waste of time.

Put in 4 gallons of Costco's pasteurized fruit juice.
(The concord grape is good).
Then boil 1 gallon of water and dissolve 10 pounds of sugar into it and add it to the juice.
Stir well, thrashing plenty of air into it.
Then cork it and run a plastic tube out the top and into the bottom of a small jug or jar of plain water. The CO2 will bubble through the water which prevent bacterial contamination from the air.
If you cork the small jug, you can use 1/4" plastic tubing to route the gas to your grow room.
With the sugar/juice mixture at room temperature, dissolve two packs of dry wine yeast in a cup of 100 degree F. water with a tablespoon of sugar in it, and let it sit for 15 minutes.
Just follow the directions on the yeast pack.
Add the yeast, put it in a dark place and it will produce CO2 for a month.
The good news? after a month, you will have a by-product.
5 gallons of surprisingly good grape wine!:thumbsup:

Enjoy, but don't overdo it.
With CO2, less it more.
