As you may know I have only just started to make my own CS and that phenomena has happened to me! I have made four bottles of CS; three of which are perfect and clear and the fourth has gone sort of greeny yellow. Now two of the bottles are from one supplier (my bought CS) and the one which is affected is from my former supplier; Rivers of Health. The fourth bottle is also from them and yet the CS in that one is perfectly clear. All bottles and caps were rinsed in DW but not washed out thoroughly with soap or anything. I don't think that anything else has been put in that bottle except CS so it is even more strange. Dee PS all bottles are PET plastic.

Thanks for saying what I've thought for years now--glass is not as impermeable as it is said to be. My comment is just that I've had more trouble with glass jars and bottles affecting CS adversely than plastic. In fact, I've never had a plating or drop out problem with plastic bottles or jugs used for storing CS, unless the CS was yellow when it went into the plastic. I've had lots of CS turn color and suffer plate out and drop out when stored in glass. Sometimes I've been able to clean a glass container well enough with peroxide and running through the dishwasher, then rinsing with hot tap water, then with several changes of distilled water, but some glass jars even those measures didn't work on. One was a very old canning jar. No telling what it had absorbed, and what was leaching into the CS.
