I think mine was a 6oz. I bet I could still do it with a 3oz and use less water and still work. But it really doesnt matter really, no need for all that math. I think you are thinking too hard. Just as long as your 2 seperate cups of sugar is fully dissolved in the jello that you made, you are fine. Then just dump in the activated yeast. The water doesnt have to be precise, neither does the yeast. If you accidently put more yeast, all it does is increase CO2 rate and decreases your bottle's lifespan and if you accidently put less, then its lower CO2 rate and longer lifespan. After a while I stopped measuring and just did everything by estimates. I measure out the 2 cups sugar though
