    You can't really control injection rate with DIY CO2, but there are a few possibilities.

    1. Use less yeast.
    2. Put a valve on the air tube. Open the valve partially to allow some CO2 to escape.
    Vincent - AQ is for everyone, but not for 'u' and 'mi'.
    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:
    A woman, without her man, is nothing.
    A woman: without her, man is nothing.

    I have a feeling this won't work as gas will find the easiest way to escape. And in this case, no CO2 will go into the tank.
    Maybe also use a less efficient CO2 reactor. Such as a smaller inverted bell to collect CO2 and let most of the gas escape.
    Can see this example.

    it is better to reduce the amount of yeast used.
    alternatively, get a valve (tap for drip irrigation from nurseries) and us it to control the flow rate. however, your diy setup must be real good else there could be leaks at various joints. a lot of testing needs to be done to ensure all the joints are leak free.
