Sometimes your EIS has a problem and is not suitable to add.

Try it without adding any EIS, but try cleaning the jar first.

Given: Using a Silver puppy on automatic brew. Room temp distilled water tests 0 on TDS meter. I have been seeding new batches with about an oz of the previous batch. All batches test between 5 and 7 TDS.


1. Timing. I think it may be taking too long to brew. *How do I fix it? * When I first started I used a 16 oz canning jar and it was finished in appx 3.5 hours. I've recently changed to a 32 oz jar and it's taking a loooooooong time. I can't exactly tell how long since I'm not around when it quits. The one on the stirrer right now started at 6 last night and it's still not done at 16 hours. Stirrer is appz 1 inch long. Q: is this right? Q: should I start with all distilled H2O instead of distilled with EIS in it? Q: Will heating the water in the microwave shorten the batch time? Q: will using a longer stirrer help? Q: Is there any benefit to making many small batches instead of larger ones? Q: Am i just being impatient?


2. Storage: *containers and length of time*. Q: Does it hurt the EIS to use clean plastic pop bottles? Q: Do I need to shield it from light? Q: Is there a rule of thumb for max storing time?


Thanks much.  Saralou
