So, when the the first batch of biogas is produced, it showed that your dung starter is already matured and ready to produce next batch of biogas. But it is only the beginning. The number of microbes have already multiply several folds compare to fresh dung. Matured starter can produced biogas faster then fresh dung. However, you cannot jump to conclusion that you can add any waste in any amount. How would you push microbes from dung to suddenly adapt to digest waste from different sources? It is impossible! You have to start slowly introducing alien waste into this matured starter. So that these microbes could first learn to recognize then adapt to the new waste. Introduce the new different waste little by little until the sensitization process is complete. Introducing large amount of alien waste to a new digester will cause your starter became shock and stagnant. Give them time to learn. They are not machine but only living things like us. Have mercy ok.

WHY MY GAS IS NOT BURNING?
When I first initiate my digester with zero knowledge about biogas my favourite question was why is there no any gas produced? So you are very lucky if there is gas production by the new digester because carbon dioxide will come out first in the beginning before then methane. You have to understand that biogas is actually mix of several type of gas like carbon dioxide, methane and other inert gas. Along the process of biogas production, in the beginning of chain reaction, acidification will first occurr thus producing carbon dioxide. It is normal to have carbon dioxide in the very beginning. It is a positive sign that your digester is working well and will produce methane a bit later according to the chain reaction. Unless your digester is continuously producing carbon dioxide after months of starting then you have to start worry there might leakage somewhere along digester system.
