Actually she didn't, but I was looking for an explanation of why it
should go yellow, and plastic sprung to mind. As it was, she uses
glass, so it must be something else, although glass can be
contaminated too. And as quite a few knowledgeable people have said,
the EIS ideally *should* be clear; I don't know any other way to say
it. It *can* be yellow but this is not generally recognised as being
the ideal, although all right.
To me, if the EIS is stable then there is no reason why it can't be in
clear glass/plastic. Some are under the erroneous impression that it
*should* be stored in coloured vessels which is what I wanted to
correct. And it isn't always easy to see the colour when poured out
if you only have a small dose. I have poured a dose from a coloured
batch and it looked clear in the spoon but yellow in the bottle. dee

EIS *can* be stored in clear bottles would be more accurate. For
myself, I prefer to store mine in Cobalt blue glass bottles. When I
pour it out to use it, I can clearly see if it's still clear or if
it has changed color. So far, that has never happened. I didn't
see where she said anything about using plastic. ???
