co2 bottle exploding!?

[ucng]

Hi guys, wouldn’t my diy co2 bottle exploded or eventually leak if I placed a regulator on how much gas is able to leave into my tank? I just want the flow to be more consistent. my 2 litter bottle is sealed with silicone. Thanks

its possible though the seal is most likely to break. if i remember correctly from mythbusters they can get up to 75psi. i wouldnt worry about it. if you really want to regulate the gas put it in a container with a heater on it so the temps stay stable

anyone have any tips on how to regulate the amount of co2 that comes out of the bottle.

If they're anything like paintball CO2 tanks they have burst disks, adding heat will raise the pressure of the tanks and most likely set off a burst disk.

I think the op is talking about diy co2. The heat is to try and make the yeast ferment at the same rate instead of speeding up and slowing down.

Kind of curious as to why you are trying to regulate DIY CO2? It doesn't produce that to have to worry about it actually.

Impossible without really expensive equipment.

right on. stable temp is really the only way to regulate the amount of co2 from diy. if you want something more then that you should just buy pressurized.
