I use a half-pint of the previous batch for one new gallon. The reason is that by increasing the conductivity of the water it allows the electroisolation to happen faster. Normally with distilled water there's quite a long lag at the beginning of the process, as the water itself has no real conductivity. It's minerals in the water that conduct electricity. Of course, even double-distilled water is not *absolutely* pure -- the universe being strictly a relative manifestation and all, we can't get absolute anything -- or so the theory goes; so far it has yet to be disproven AFAIK.
