You could buy some yeast online...
Pretty sure india would sell yeast tho
in shops look around the cake making section, like where they have icing, cake mix ect... should be round ther
you want to get the active yeast :)

Vinegar is acetic acid: CH3COOH
Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate: NaHCO3
Mixing the two is simply and acid base reaction.
CH3COOH + NaHCO3 ---> CH3COONa + H2CO3
That last product is carbonic acid which quickly decomposes into
carbon dioxide and water:
H2CO3 ---> H2O + CO2
The CO2 is what you see foaming and bubbling in this reaction.

I want to build a mouse colony in my grow room, like having tubes and cages all around my plants...Right now all I have are turtles in a kiddie pool. The water is pumped through with a system of fountains and waterfalls, which keeps things moist. My point is that although small animals aren't as good as a system that you can buy, they do produce CO2 and they give a grow set up a nice homey touch when you just feel like watching the grass grow. Just don't let a cat near them...they love those plants as much as we do...lol
Just a suggestion.
