I mix the yeast in a cup of warm water before adding to the sugar/water mix. Lasts at least 3 weeks for me. Critical Fertilator: The Micromanager of Macronutrients

I've discovered that if you really oxygenate the water (shake it roughly several times, letting air in in between shakes), the mixture last longer, also activating the yeast in warm water with a little sugar before adding it to the mix, this is stearing it really hard with a fork for about 5 minutes, till it becomes really foamy and leting it set for another 10 minutes, then adding it to the sugar water.
