Theoretically you can, but if your septic is underground the temperature will be not nearly enough for the methane bacteria to thrive and produce the gas.
This video was awesome, and thank you so much! We’re going to be getting a biogas with toilet system as well as hopefully a two burner stove, if they offer it. This will all be for our tiny cabin in Grayson Highlands a Virginia which we will start building next year. I love that you had the CEO on answering these questions and then making eggs with you :-)
That was a fun day! Your plan sounds like a good one. Be sure to check with HBG about the temperature requirements and how to work around that in Virginia.
@@Gardenerdplease how do I communicate with this engineer. I am a Nigerian and I would love to invite him to my country to educate people more about this biogas.
I know a few people who feel the same. The Home BioGas folks are pretty good with answering questions about this topic, since they have users all over the world and have compiled feedback on what works in cooler locations (i.e. enclosing it in a polytunnel, etc.). You might want to contact them directly.
Gardenerd I did contact them thru their website (no reply yet). A unit kept indoors probably should be made of more ridged materials. Since I’m building a small off grid camp next year, it would be best of I can I corporate the biogas unit into my layout from the start. My main “feed” would be from the toilet, not too much food scraps. We’ll see if I can find a design that will work
@@4philipp Just make sure it has ventilation because the unit does release excess gas if the bag fills up. So it needs someplace to go. Have you seen their new toilet that leads straight to the system? I so want one.
Gardenerd yes, that’s why I thought feeding it primarily with the toilet. A 2 person household should produce enough. However, their toilet looks much like a camping toilet and as a guy, I prefer standard sized bowls with plenty of hanging room. For the off gassing I’d install a pipe leading straight to the outside. One thing I’m not happy with is that expensive filter element that’s needed for the gas. At $40 per year that equals 3 bbq tank propane fill ups. Got to keep it economical.
@@4philipp Thanks for the reminder that I need to check the filter. It's been a year and the gas doesn't smell bad so I'm assuming the filter is still good.
Do you have a switch that automatically changes from the methane to other gas if you run out of methane? That "feature" might help "sell" the idea to people who are anxious about running out of gas, kind of like range anxiety regarding electric vehicles.
They probably don't make it themselves but you could make a switch to change from biogas to normal gas .The flame might be slightlier orange but it should just work.
So for anyone that still doesn't understand Conversion of LPG, NG to Bio fuel. What the gentleman is saying "DISK" he is referring to the JET. And the "JET" is what adjust how much gas is being allowed to get to the burner. The gas whether be LPG, HHO, BIO Methane, ETC. all need to be regulated so that they burn safe and efficiently. However the regulation for this system is solely the sand bags on top of the unit and is not really regulated and as such the "Disk" or "JET" needs to be sized appropriately. There is also burn rate and Bio Methane also has impurities in the gas making it less efficient, but that's for another comment! Hope this helps some understand better!
what a GREAT idea for an update to bring on the inventor and WHY he did this. Very interesting.....(and he's cute) .....but.....Id worry having that in my yard, is there any danger of explosions? Love the idea of putting the liquid waste on the compost pile. Can you remind us how much this cost?
There is an overflow valve that lets off gas if the bag gets full. There are also warnings on the system and in the instructions about location in order to keep it away from open flames and other possible hazards. I.E. 20 feet away from open flames or gas lines, etc.
@@Gardenerd ok, that makes sense. I think this idea could really take off. Is this one the same thing as what you have? th-cam.com/video/6t7dSPm_rXw/w-d-xo.html (hers is really close to the house)
I would advise contacting the manufacturer to find out what tricks they have in store for mountain areas. We're coastal, so our winters are mild. The fish tank heater does the trick for us but you may need something else, like a partial enclosure to insulate the unit. The heater we got was for a 300 +gallon fish tank and we only needed it the first year. After that the biological environment inside the system was strong enough to keep going through winter.
The internal temperature works best above 68 degrees F. We used an internal aquarium heater for the first year to keep it going over winter, but after that we didn't really need to. If you get snow, then it may go dormant over winter. Contact the company directly for more questions.
I don't know what the going rate is now that they are past the Kickstarter stage, but you can go to their website (HomeBioGas.com) and check it out. The kit comes with the stove.
@@brighammmer After a couple years, we didn't need it anymore. The biogas system was working year-round for us, but we're in a warm-winter climate. It will be different in a place that gets frost and snow.
Are you able to connect together more than one drop in cooktop? Like if I wanted to put 3 or 4 of them built in on a counter. Would the gas bag have enough pressure to run all of them?
I don't know for sure (contact Home BioGas directly and they will be able to tell you.) but I do think I've seen at least one innovative person split the line to two burners. Not sure how, though.
When fertilizing with the fertilizer, should it be dissolved in the water? I live in a cold climate. Can I use the home biogas during summer only? and if yes How should I store it during winter?
You can use the liquid fertilizer straight (HomeBioGas tells me). As for your other questions, you should contact HomeBioGas directly as they have a better sense of what you'd need to do for cold weather protection and storage.
Yes, everything is fine and wonderful, but my homebiogas makes me think on some other questions, about composting. Is the liquid effluent from the "Big Cow" not full of bacteria that could be dangerous if I put it into my compost set or my organic plants? May you let me know what your opinion is?
Great question, Agustin. And yes, it is anaerobic, so it's not something I would use right away, but if you stir it up a bit before distributing it, you won't kill anything with it. I've used it straight and had no problems, but I generally like to aerate it before dispersing it on my plants. I also don't use it on my food crops, only flowers and trees. Just to be safe.
@@Gardenerd Thank you very much for your quick response. Guess what? I had an interview yesterday with a very great PhD in my State who knows a lot about these great biogasmakers and he told me that the liquid that comes out form the bag is very nutritious to the plants, bus specifically to those plants which have trunk, like trees which give us fruit, like apple trees, pineapple trees or mango or avocado trees; but not for carrots, potatoes nor spinach, or other greens, because it can have bacteria that can cause some stomach infections. So we all learn in this Digital Society of Information.
THANK YOU @@Gardenerd ! Because of your interesting interview with this homebiogas creator is that I am so glad that we are not going to be pushed to clean it up for maintenance and that it becomes eventually a great digester helper for our community enviroment.
My understanding is that the placement of the tube within the digester is such that the liquid layer it removes the fertilizer from contains less bacteria than the lower layers and the surface layer. There are different strata within the digester with different levels of bacterial activity and it's designed to remove liquid from the optimal layer for lower bacterial concentration? Does that sound right?
@@ChristyWilhelmi Thank you for your reply. I have already sent an email to the company a week ago but have not received a reply yet. Will sent it again. Could you tell me if there is an inlet on the homebiogas for the toilet drainage pipe? Thanks.
Hi I just received a reply from HBG saying, "You can connect HomeBiogas to the Bio-Toilet only as it was designed to be only connected to our toilet. " Thanks.
You should contact Home Biogas with this question. They are pretty specific about which types of manure to use, because some (like chicken) won't work. So if there are alternatives they will be able to tell you.
I’d really love to get involved with your project of bringing biogas to those world communities in need. There are water charities raising money to dig wells for rural and poor communities, so affordable modular portable biogas appliances are a must. I think a black pvc resistant cover is essential to helping to protect the digester uva damage. Is there one? I’ll try and find out from your website. Israelis are great inventors. Great work guys.
Contact HomeBioGas directly. I'm just a consumer, but the HomeBioGas folks will be able to connect you to their projects in progress, if there are any.
The set up instructions mention that the first time the gas builds up it might be carbon dioxide. If the stove won't light, that is usually the case, so they recommend releasing the gas from the storage bag and letting it build up again. Then it's pure methane for cooking.
Christy, we need that guy to come talk to Rogue Climate as an alternative to the Canadian Pipleine they are trying to insert across our state carrying Fracked LNG from across the state to a port in Coos Bay, and sell to other countries. They Claim JOBS, but want to build a workers camp (for thier workers) and cover a large clam and oyster bed (taking away jobs already there) we need him here.
Since I don't want to cook outside when it 30 below I'm going you adapt my natural gas stove to methane the utube videos I've seen say your need to change to deliver 2 times the amount of gas I will try his suggestion when I get my digester set up I'm hoping to produce enough gas to also heat my water dry my clothes and maybe help heat my home
Ideally we would bring our stove indoors if it were close enough to the system. Please consult the company before doing the adjustments. And make sure to install a methane detector in the room for safety.
We expected to be hit with a bill from customs, but it just arrived on our doorstep with regular shipping from the company. You can inquire about shipping to your address directly with the company.
Thanks a lot for share your knowledge. It's absolutely amazing and beautiful. I'm from Colombia and want to do different things yo help our Home, our planet. I found you, becouse i'm looking for information about biodigestores. I wanna build one, and I'm very happy and excited for know that exist people like you. If you are interested in try in Colombia, I'm at your disposition
What a lovely, heartfelt comment. I recommend you contact HomeBioGas directly to connect with them and see if they already have connections in Columbia you could touch base with. They're great people and are helping to save the world.
Hi men I am from Colombia (Not Columbia) 2 years ago I made a reach investigation about this. But in this moment was very complicated. But now I thing is possible. I would like to try again
When I was in Nicaragua on a mission trip, the homes have a hole in the ceiling so they can make a live fire in their house. The smoke that comes off that fire is what he is referring to. Such a tough way to cook. Inhaling all that smoke!
Talks about reducing the “feeding”, in Winter in Los Angles. But doesn’t give the temperature?! WTH? Don’t ask a question if you aren’t going to answer it.
Sunny Deise stop breeding them. Male chicks are killed alive, over 99% chickens raised in large confined spaces which is breeding ground for pandemics and antibiotic resistance
Hey Christy, I've watched and liked all your videos...But not this one! Why the heck do you eat eggs and kill rats? Do you think you're better than them? Rats are not "disgusting animals", WE are! They used to eat wheat, barley,etc...Before we've destroyed all their habitat and food! Therefore, if they come nearby, is because they're hungry! So why do you have to "trap" and kill them??? Also, eggs are non fertilized cells, just like our menstruation! If you don't STEAL their eggs, they'll just EAT THEM and reabsorb lost minerals and nutrients...Also, they'll lay only about TWENTY EGGS A YEAR, but if you keep stealing them, they'll keep on laying them endlessly...And their life spam will be shortened! Do you really think you have this right??? I don't think so...With all this abundance of food, why don't you learn how to cook without exploiting and harming animals? Be generous with Mother Nature, just as it is with you! Peace! And please consider Veganism...
Thank you, Tuirapanui, for sharing your opinions. I have been vegetarian now for 26 years with bouts of veganism during that time. I don't feel the need to explain my dietary restrictions or choices on this forum, but I think it's important to say this: I'm a vegetarian. I'm married to an omnivore. My goal with Gardenerd is to live off the land and create as much of a closed loop food system within walking distance of my kitchen as possible, and to educate those who want to do the same. We try not to eat anything that comes out of a plastic bag (try being the emphasis there), or buy food that comes from halfway across the planet. That's my personal choice. I don't force my opinion on anyone else. People come to their decisions on their own. I don't force my chickens to be vegetarians because they love to eat the grubs from my compost bin. Their poop becomes fertilizer for my garden. With the exception of their bag of soy-free/corn-free organic chicken feed and black oil sunflower seeds, it's a closed-loop, zero waste, thriving ecosystem that co-exists well. As with most participants in nature, they are just as important during the times they are molting or not laying as they are when they do. Let's coexist together, shall we?
Tuirapanui I agree with you 100 % . People are shocked and sad when people get brutally killed by another person. But those same people slaughter animals for their canbalistc desires not taking into consideration the animals are just as important as us. It's even worse for the bible believers as in the bible in the beginning it states plainly the plants is what was givien for us to eat god never said eat animals. It's because of sin they started killing the animals. The bible even says dou shall not kill yet people kill animals everyday and eat them like savages.
@@Gardenerd Hi Christy, please don't let negative people get to you. You are doing amazing things, living your convictions and equipping others to do the same. Thanks for all your hard work, and all of the information that you've shared, you are such an encouragement and inspiration.
Why rats are a problem: rats are considered one of the world's most invasive species. On top of carrying disease and carrying insects which carry disease (see 1347-1352 Europe) rats have few natural predators and are responsible for the decline of many endemic species in both plant and animal life globally. Many rats consume both plants and animals including lizards and baby sea turtle eggs. I hate killing and death, both bother me tremendously, HOWEVER, in this case controlling an invasive population with few natural predators that is maiming and destroying entire local ecosystems is an arguably humanitarian and more compassionate role to take than allowing OUR mistake (spreading the rats via trade ships) to decimate local ecology and plant life.
Wow LEGENDS ! Nice questions ... This guy is a real go getter !
So inspirational
Can I use the vent on my septic system to collect biogas?
I have no idea. Maybe someone else on this thread will have an answer to that.
Theoretically you can, but if your septic is underground the temperature will be not nearly enough for the methane bacteria to thrive and produce the gas.

Be generous with Mother Nature, just as it is with you! Peace! And please consider Veganism...
Thank you, Tuirapanui, for sharing your opinions. I have been vegetarian now for 26 years with bouts of veganism during that time. I don't feel the need to explain my dietary restrictions or choices on this forum, but I think it's important to say this: I'm a vegetarian. I'm married to an omnivore. My goal with Gardenerd is to live off the land and create as much of a closed loop food system within walking distance of my kitchen as possible, and to educate those who want to do the same. We try not to eat anything that comes out of a plastic bag (try being the emphasis there), or buy food that comes from halfway across the planet. That's my personal choice. I don't force my opinion on anyone else. People come to their decisions on their own. I don't force my chickens to be vegetarians because they love to eat the grubs from my compost bin. Their poop becomes fertilizer for my garden. With the exception of their bag of soy-free/corn-free organic chicken feed and black oil sunflower seeds, it's a closed-loop, zero waste, thriving ecosystem that co-exists well. As with most participants in nature, they are just as important during the times they are molting or not laying as they are when they do. Let's coexist together, shall we?
Tuirapanui I agree with you 100 % .
People are shocked and sad when people get brutally killed by another person.
But those same people slaughter animals for their canbalistc desires not taking into consideration the animals are just as important as us.
It's even worse for the bible believers as in the bible in the beginning it states plainly the plants is what was givien for us to eat god never said eat animals.
It's because of sin they started killing the animals.
The bible even says dou shall not kill yet people kill animals everyday and eat them like savages.
@@Gardenerd Hi Christy, please don't let negative people get to you. You are doing amazing things, living your convictions and equipping others to do the same. Thanks for all your hard work, and all of the information that you've shared, you are such an encouragement and inspiration.
Why rats are a problem: rats are considered one of the world's most invasive species. On top of carrying disease and carrying insects which carry disease (see 1347-1352 Europe) rats have few natural predators and are responsible for the decline of many endemic species in both plant and animal life globally. Many rats consume both plants and animals including lizards and baby sea turtle eggs. I hate killing and death, both bother me tremendously, HOWEVER, in this case controlling an invasive population with few natural predators that is maiming and destroying entire local ecosystems is an arguably humanitarian and more compassionate role to take than allowing OUR mistake (spreading the rats via trade ships) to decimate local ecology and plant life.
