Marbles. That's a really great idea! I'm going to keep that one in mind.

Sadly, my JAO failed because of that same predicament; making JAO in a MN winter isn't a good idea.

Be careful to use marbles from a pet store -- ordinary hobby or game marbles may use chemicals to color the glass that can leach into the mead.

Food grade CO2 -- try a forum search but I'm pretty sure the difference is a gas that's free from oil or other contaminants that can come from the processing. Otherwise, CO2 is CO2

My friend used to work in a place that captured CO2 from the exhaust from an Ethanol plant. I don't know what stage it came from, but they had charcoal beds and other filters. They had to take samples for testing, and they would get in trouble if the tests didn't come out good enough, because the company got less money from lower grade CO2. I think it would be very wise to stick with food-grade.

By the way, my kid's definition of food-grade is if it can fit in their mouth, or they can gnaw off chunks, then it's food-grade.:eek::D
