* The pH of all of the various types of water I have used to make CS has always been acid--5.5 to 6.0, around there. I have not been able to get golden CS. I have heard that you could only get golden CS with alkaline water. I use nitrazine paper to test the pH, which only shows a color range in .5 degree increments. Mary
